Yellowstone Trail Maps

Of course, you can get the maps through the USGS but they aren't very convenient and I think some are out of date.

A better choice are the waterproof series of trail maps put out by Trails Illustrated:

They also have smaller maps that cover each quarter of the park. I do not have the ISBN Numbers for these maps. I prefer these smaller maps for hiking. You can get the maps at the visitor centers in the park. Their titles are:

SW Yellowstone - Old Faithful, 1:83,300, $6.99
NW Yellowstone - Mammoth Hot Springs, 1:83,300, $6.99
NE Yellowstone - Tower/Canyon, 1:83,300, $6.99
SE Yellowstone - Yellowstone Lake, 1:83,300, $6.99

If you plan to stay on the trails and not go too far into the backcountry then you can get by with Mark C. Marschall's book, Yellowstone Trails: A Hiking Guide. Besides being my favorite Yellowstone trail guide, it also contains decent topographic maps of the trails.
