Summary

Description
English: (1) This 2013 publication by w:United States w:National Park Service at web posting replaces previous w:USGS map, File:Yellowstone Caldera map2.jpg. The older diagram, File:Yellowstone Caldera map2.jpg, is posted on-line as "fig_03_yellowstone_map.jgp," dated 14 March 14 2005. Very similar map, but nevertheless some minor changes were made over the elapsed 8 years. Specifically, the northernmost "uncertain boundary" for the 1st caldera has been replaced.
