Summary:
This image of Yellowstone National Park's Lower Geyser Basin was taken as part of the Hayden Survey of western Wyoming and Colorado, which later led to the formation of the U.S. Geological Surveys of the Territories within the Department of the Interior. William Henry Jackson, then a budding photographer, took thousands of photographs for the Hayden Survey, most notably the first images of the headwaters of the Yellowstone River. Pictured are Henry Gannett, Ferdinand V. Hayden, S. F. Hamp, James Stevenson, William Blackmore, W.A. West, E. Campbell Carrington, Joseph Savage, John Raymond, and William R. Taggert. Some of these men are sitting around the food while others are standing.
