No doubt others are poring through those hundreds of USGS photos, finding  
neat things but also finding errors. Such as images 451-453 being labeled as  
Pearl Geyser at Norris but actually showing Spike Geyser at Heart Lake.
 
Question: is the "Lesser Emeral Pool" (image 473) at Black Sand Basin  
actually Green Spring? I think so.
 
I also see of interest that a Jackson image in Sentinel Meadow (view  looking 
south from Flat Cone in ?1883) is labeled as being in Queen's Laundry,  as if 
that was the name used for the entire Sentinel Meadow area. This (along  with 
misidentifications) brings up the question: Who produced the captions for  
these images? Are they original, or developed now by the USGS people as they  
produce these digital images from the originals?
