First, I believe that latitude should read 38' rather than 33', which places
the location as stated (33' being in Sentinel Meadow).
I certainly know of no eruptive record for any of those springs along the
river below the Madison Campground. There can be, I think, little doubt but that
those springs are related to the Terrace Springs, just up the road to the
north. Those springs are Yellowstone-cool, with temperatures only a little
above 60 deg C (140 deg F), and in my experience (and I haven't been to these
springs in many years) these by the campground are cooler still. The "eruption"
visible at Terrace Spring itself is entirely (or almost entirely) due to the
evolution of carbon dioxide.
With that, if there was any sort of eruption from the spring near the
campground, then I'd bet it was from CO2. But as I said, I've never heard of such a
thing.

This spot is readily visible as a creamy colored spot on Google Earth, very
near where the road first comes close to the river west of the campground.
Does anybody else know of possible play from this, or any other hot spring,
along the Madison River?
