Inventory of Thermal Features of the Firehole River Geyser Basins
and other selected areas of Yellowstone National Park.
Dr. George Marler’s comprehensive digest of geyser activity through the early
1970’s provides an excellent historic reference. The descriptions of hot
springs and geysers was prepared by Marler for the U.S. Geological Survey,
based on many years as a naturalist and geyser specialist with the National
Park Service. Marler supplemented summaries of his observations with historical
information.
