Yay for map nerds! Thank you, John, for sharing this fascinating story about Alice Morris. I had come across this map when researching my book but did not notice the cartographer. The story behind the map is certainly an important piece of the transportation history of national parks. Looking forward to reading your piece in Trails Magazine.

John, I didn't know that you were also a map nerd! Starting in about Seventh Grade, I collected old atlases... and used to pore over them..... I still had my collection when I went off to Williams. Do wonder what happened to them when my Dad sold the house where I grew up....

Then, I thought I was the only one......the only map nerd....

Just read your piece in Trails #13 last night. Such a fascinating nugget from Yellowstone history!

Hi John, Never thought of Yellowstone and Big Foot together. Fun.
