[Geysers] research question: immediately after the 1959 earthquake (Frangos)

[V]

Hello!
Ah, one of my favorite Yellowstone area topics!
My daughter's name is... Madison! : )
Here is a short list of what I can think of!
I have the original newspaper from Cody Wyoming 
somewhere.  (my mom lived there during the quake).
~ Vicky

I believe the Marler piece is this one-

Marler, G.D., Effects of the Hebgen Lake earthquake of 
August 17, 1959, on the hot springs of the Firehole Geyser 
basins, Yellowstone National Park, 
U. S. Geological Survey Professional Paper, 
Report: P 0435, 185-197, 1964.
Earthquakes have been known to change the behavior of hot 
springs significantly. For instance, an observer stationed at 
Yellowstone Park during the Hebgen Lake earthquake of 
August 17, 1959, once compared the force of that earthquake 
to a "giant hand which suddenly applied enormous pressure 
to the rocks beneath the hot springs, forcing water from 
their conduits in a manner comparable to the squeezing 
of a sponge.. . .Its jarring served as a trigger to start 
discharge from hundreds of springs. Had this happened 
in the daytime, the spectator would have witnessed geyser 
activity on a scale never even closely approximated since 
Yellowstone's discovery."

another Marler one...

In particular, he notes the futility of building roads atop active 
springs, a fact made evident by the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake 
(Figure 33).
