1958 Hopkinson Pictorial Map of Northern Wyoming

This is a 1958 Harold Hopkinson pictorial map of northern Wyoming. The map depicts from Old Faithful east to Sundance and the Black Hills and from Mammoth Springs Junction south to Kaycee and Hole in the Wall, the hide out of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Yellowstone National Park occupies the upper left, with Yellowstone Lake, Old Faithful, Mammoth Springs, and Madison Junction identified. Buffalo Bill Cody's monument appears just east of the park, and the Big Horn Mountains divide the map almost in half. Devil's Tower is situated in the upper right, not far from Sundance (not where the Sundance Film Festival is held every year - that happens in Park City, Utah) and the Black Hills. Fantastic illustrations of stagecoaches, Native Americans, gunfights, cowboys, and Wyoming's iconic wildlife populate the rest of the map. Prairie landscapes dominates the bottom portion of the map, with a Native American chief creating smoke signals on the right and a frontiersman on the left.
