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?
