Well, one lives and learns.
1. On the map, in Dr. White's handwriting is "Botryoidal Sp". It is not
otherwise numbered. Per a small line, this spring appears to lie immediately
next to unnamed YW136 (note: NOT YM), which is our A-2 Geyser. (How long
have I had the USGS thermal maps? Well, probably at least 27 years but I never
noticed this... Clearly, White's and Marler's "Botryoidal" differ.)
2. Feature YW135 is the depression in which there are several vents, two or
three of which sometimes act as small geysers. This is not the modern
Botryoidal.
3. The feature that we call Botryoidal Spring is not named on the map, but
is labeled as YW134. Thus, it appears that our Botryoidal is Brock's
Geyserino, so named by Brock probably because he thought it unnamed having seen
White's Botryoidal way up by A-2.
Obviously, Brock copied the numbering and some naming from the USGS map.

However, on his map, he shows "Botryoides Spring" very close to A-1 and
A-2 geysers... closer than I think it really is... labels a large pool in the
right place for Botryoidal as YM135 without a name... and places "YM134
(Geyserino)" some distance farther south, something like 1/3 of the way to
Verdant Spring.... in an area where today there is nothing but grass.
