[Geysers] Hypothesis on the formation of the Mary Bay explosioncrater complex (Billings Gazette)

[Janet Chapple]

The Bay and the Mountain were named for two different Marys. The Bay for the then-girlfriend, Mary Force, of Henry Elliot, artist with the 1871 Hayden Survey. (He later married someone else.) The Mountain for one Mary Clark of Chicago, an 1873 visitor with a lovely singing voice, according to the Rev. Edwin J. Stanley's book "Rambles in Wonderland." This info is from Whittlesey's "Yellowstone Place Names."
