About the Item
This is an original 1904 "Atlas to Accompany Monograph XXXII on the Geology of the Yellowstone National Park" by Arnold Hague. Published by the Department of the Interior, the Atlas consists of 27 elephant folio sized sheets, containing 17 single-page and 7 double-page maps. Hague was the geologist in charge of the U.S. Geological Survey's Yellowstone division and oversaw the agency's survey of the park from 1883 to 1889. Mapped in the field by Hague and his team and then printed by Julius Bien in Washington, D.C., this atlas of Yellowstone National Park features a series of topographical maps with geological counterparts. The Atlas is presented here in its original brown cloth boards with gilt titles, and a new archival ¼ leather and cloth clamshell case.
Arnold Hague (1840-1917) was trained as a geologist who attended Yale's Sheffield Scientific School, followed by three years of graduate study in Germany. In 1867, he joined the famous U.S. Geological Exploration of the 40th Parallel led by Clarence King. He also completed extensive fieldwork in Nevada, Guatemala, and China, and was appointed one of the United States Geological Survey’s principal geologists when it was established in 1879.
In 1883, Hague was named Geologist in charge of the Survey of the Yellowstone National Park. He began fieldwork in August of that year with a large party of assistants, including three assistant geologists, W. H. Weed, G. M. Wright, and J. P Iddings, physicist William Halloek, chemist F. A. Gooch, photographer W. H. Jackson, and a disbursing clerk C. D. Davis. In his study of the region, Hague was especially interested in the geysers and hot springs, but oversaw the investigations of his whole team into the geological structure of the region, which consisted mostly of igneous rocks, with several mountain ranges of stratified rocks.
An epic project spanning seven seasons, from 1883 to 1889, Hague and his team surveyed more than 3,000 square miles of Yellowstone. Charting the geology, strata, volcanics, paleontology, hot springs and geysers of that region, their extensive fieldwork resulted in the publication of "Monograph XXXII on the Geology of the Yellowstone National Park." This Atlas accompanied the Monograph. Hague's Monograph and Atlas are still viewed by geologists today as some of the most in-depth studies of Yellowstone to have ever been published.
The atlas includes the title page, table of contents, a legend detailing the topography and geology of Yellowstone, and the following maps: Gallatin Sheet, Topography; Shoshone Sheet, Topography; Canyon Sheet, Topography; Lake Sheet, Topography; Crandall Sheet, Topography; Ishawooa Sheet, Topography; Gallatin Sheet, Geology; Shoshone Sheet, Geology; Canyon Sheet, Geology; Lake Sheet, Geology; Crandall Sheet, Geology; Ishawooa Sheet, Geology; Yellowstone National Park and Portion of Yellowstone Forest Reserve, Topography; Yellowstone National Park and Portion of Yellowstone Forest Reserve, Geology; Mammoth Hot Springs and Vicinity, Topography; Mammoth Hot Springs and Vicinity, Geology; Mammoth Hot Springs, Travertine Terraces, Detailed Map; Norris Geyser Basin, Geology; Firehole Geyser Basin, Geology; Excelsior Geyser Basin; Upper Geyser Basin, Geology; Shoshone Geyser Basin, Geology; and Shores of Yellowstone Lake, Geology.
