[Geysers] Hygeia Spring area Marshall Hotel, followup

[Jack Ashe]

Upon further review, that photo is in a collection of other photos from a trip to Pocket Basin area. My error. I appreciate the feedback.
I stand corrected and humbled.
 After some additional research,however, I cannot find Rush Lake separately mentioned in the Research Coordination Network listings, in Marlers inventory, in Mr. Bryan's book (3rd edition),or in  Yellowstone Place Names (2006) .  To add to the confusion,  Yellowstone Place Names (2006) under the entry to Mud Volcanoes (page 183)  does associate historically Rush Lake and Goose Lake.  "In 1878, this ("Lindren's Basin") was probably the group of springs known as "Goose Lake Mud Springs" from nearby "Goose Lake", present day Rush Lake."  The USGS Geologic Map of Lower Geyser Basin and topo 7.5 minute series makes clear that Rush Lake and Goose Lake are currently considered different bodies of water.
 And so it goes.

Jack---I think you are confused. Your photo at
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3315/3417054706_02b3465e58.jpg?v=0 is of
RUSH LAKE, not of Hygeia Spring, not of the geyserite bathtub, and not of
ANYTHING at Marshall's.

Rush Lake is much farther southeast, near Microcosm Basin and Seven Hills.
In the background of your photo are Porcupine Hills, which are even farther
to the east.

See my book YELLOWSTONE PLACE NAMES for these names.

I have the following picture of the Hygeia Spring area of the very lower
Lower Geyser Basin (Marshall Hotel group) that I posted on another
Yellowstone forum.  Originally I thought this feature was the same as
Hygeia Spring. However, as I researched the geography more, it appears (see
map link below) that there is a difference between the Hygeia Spring per se
and the feature with the geyserite tub.
If so, what is the geyersite tub called (Bath Tub Spring, Bath Spring ??).

Also, was the "tub" (the squared section at the end) manmade or natural?
