  Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden
Hayden was directed to perform the work, and continued so occupied until 1 April, 1869, when it was organized under the title of the Geological survey of the territories of the United States.
Hayden continued the direction of this survey until 1879, when the then existing national surveys were consolidated into the United States geological survey, and Dr. Hayden was made geologist-in-charge of the Montana division.
Hayden is a member of scientific societies both in the United States and in Europe, and in 1873 was elected to the National academy of sciences.

 Ferdinand Vandiveer Hayden Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Ferdinand Vandiveer Hayden studied to be a physician, until a chance encounter with a noted paleontologist drew him to the yet unmapped northwestern territories of the United States and a relentless career as a geologist and explorer.
Hayden was born in Westfield, Massachusetts, in 1829, the son of Asa and Melinda (Hawley) Hayden.
Moran's paintings especially were useful in promoting Hayden's dream of preserving this area, and he made a concerted effort to bring images of Yellowstone before the American public by publishing articles in magazines, lecturing to groups, and otherwise advocating for preservation of the region.

The early years of Hayden's survey paved the way for his most ambitious expeditions, the greatest of which were probably the well-equipped investigations of the Yellowstone and Teton Mountain area of Wyoming.
The year Hayden's operation was established, Clarence King -- an aristocratic, affluent, young man from New England -- arrived in Washington with a handful of recommendations from scientists and the goal of winning his own appropriation.
Unlike his competitor Hayden who felt that any discoveries should immediately be made known to the public, King determined that his reports would represent the careful distillation of years of research.

For Hayden, it encouraged him to think regionally, and he acquired a talent for transferring field observations onto maps and stratigraphic sections.
Primarily a field naturalist, Hayden acquired a remarkable understanding of stratigraphy, as well as features of erosion and how they were brought about, and he used both images and maps to give a three-dimensional sense of what the regional geology was like.
Hayden's failure in the long run was that he was first and foremost a naturalist, a generalist, and a popularizer of science, at a time when professionalism was beginning to dominate in the sciences.

While the Hayden Survey is remembered as pivotal in the creation of Yellowstone National Park, it was also pivotal to the lives and careers of several of its members, including William Henry Jackson.
Hayden's chief weapons were the scientific specimens he had collected, the stunning watercolor sketches painted by Moran, and Jackson's dramatic photographs.
Hayden set up an exhibit showcasing these works of art and nature in the U.S. Capitol and campaigned for passage of the bill with Jackson photographs in hand.

… In 1870, Hayden presented to Congress a plan for the geological and geographical exploration of the Territories of the United States that looked forward to the gradual preparation of a series of geographical and geological maps of each of the territories on a uniform scale.
During Hayden's survey, other government surveys were being carried out by John Wesley Powell (Geological and Geographical Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region) and Lieutenant George Wheeler (Geographical Surveys West of the 100th Meridian).

Hayden was, with Clarence King, one of the forces behind the consolidation, in 1879, of these disparate surveys under the aegis of the United States Geographical Survey.

Hayden was a part of a scientific contingent under Gouverneur Kemble Warren in the military expedition into the Yellowstone and Powder River Country under the command of then Col. Wm.
The question of whether Hayden would be allowed to return on the following year's expedition was resolved when Warren's father died and Warren, to be closer to his family, accepted an appointment to the faculty of the Point.

Hayden was successful in obtaining appropriations from the U.S. Congress for these explorations and his parties were comprised of a number of naturalists, scientists and their assistants.
This was the second of the famous "Hayden Surveys," as they have come to be known, to explore the Yellowstone region, and Congress allotted $75,000 for the expedition.
Through the use of the relatively new medium of photography, Hayden wished to convince others in Washington D.C. that certain choice areas of the West should be established as natural preserves that would be protected from exploitation and preserved for future generations.

In the 1870s, Ferdinand Hayden was well known throughout America and Europe for his systematic explorations of the American West.
Hayden literally put Yellowstone on the map; he documented the wonders of the region, and he utilized photography in his reports as early as 1868.
Using archival sources as well as Hayden's publications and those of his survey, Foster shows how Hayden became one of the foremost naturalists and geologists of his day, the director of the largest and most comprehensive of the surveys that operated in the West after the Civil War, and a science popularizer.

Hayden also understood the power of imagery and arranged to show works by Moran and Jackson in the Capitol following their return.

His expeditions surveyed nearly all of Colorado, producing accurate maps and atlases, fossils for scientific study, and names of mountains (many of which he climbed), rivers, and geological formations.

King used the pioneering microscopical petrographical analyses of Ferdinand Zirkle, published in another survey volume to buttress his identification of Cordilleran rocks.
Only some Powell Survey work on the Colorado Plateau might compare in fundamental importance; the King and Hayden surveys continued the reconnaissance tradition of the pre Civil War surveys, and Hayden's perceived lack of scientific rigor played a large role in his being passed over as first director of the USGS.
Gilbert's theoretical success stemmed from several factors: the fast Army pace forced accurately summarized observations of the big picture; the survey took him through some of the best geological terrain; and he was one of the best geologists ever.

Originally named Hayden's Divide after Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, (a surveyor, geologist and paleontologist who helped to map the region), local settlers in the 1880's just called the area Divide because major water run-offs divided to the north, south, east and west at this point.
Over the past 100+ years of settlement in the region, Divide has seen a range of activities from ranching and farming (iceberg lettuce and potatoes being the most notable crops), to tourism (Mueller State Park, Pike National Forest).
