Yellowstone National Park in 1894

This brochure, which is from the NPRHA — Lorenz Schrenk collection, is similar in basic format to yesterday’s. However, the map on the back is completely different, being an oblique aerial view of the region showing geographic relief. While 11 of the 15 panels on the front of yesterday’s brochure were devoted to a description of a tour through the park, today’s limits that description to just three panels, with the rest covering such things as mileages between points of interest, elevations, and descriptions of hotels and other amenities.

The map on the back is dated 1893, but map dates are not a reliable indication of when brochures were printed. A better indication is that, one of the panels on the the front notes that latest edition of Northern Pacific’s “Wonderland” booklet was for 1894. (That booklet can be downloaded from Google books.) So, this brochure was for the 1894 tourist season.
