Well, I'll be a curmudgeon and say that I guess the maps are a start.  Here's 
a sampling of errors/problems.
 
The trails are very poorly done, probably leading to some of the following  
problems.
 
Ditto the indication of the river.
 
Why are different scales shown on the supposedly adjoining maps? And how  
were the scales determined, the smallest division on the north map being the  
same as 39.6 feet.
 
And why are som many highly-important features not shown whereas a number  of 
minor (in at least two cases, non-existent) things are shown.
 
North map:
Sprite Pool, not Sprite Spring
Riverside is shown a long way from the river.
Indicator Spring, not Grotto Pressure Pool
Startling Geyser, not Startle Geyser
 
South map:
Limekiln Springs, not Lime Kiln Spring
Belgian Pool, Old Tardy Geyser, Oval Spring misplaced with respect to the  
trail.
Ear Spring and Beach Spring ditto.
Peanut Pool and Butterfly Spring names reversed.
Location of Midget is highly questionable, probably belongs much farther  
north. Labeled location equates with Spume Geyser/Spew Spouter.
Ball Cap Geyser (originally Ballcap) probably does not exist.
