Economy Geyser, Yellowstone NP, 20th Century

Postcard of Economy Geyser photographed by Frank J. Haynes, no date. Economic Geyser is a geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin. Economic Geyser is a small, usually inactive geyser located between the Giant Geyser group and the Grand Geyser group. Economic Geyser was once a popular, frequently-erupting geyser until it became essentially dormant in the 1920s. Economic Geyser is believed to be named for its behavior during its active days. It is reported that most of the water ejected drained back into the vent after the eruption, thus making the geyser appear to conserve its water. It was most likely named by Frank Jay Haynes, the park photographer from 1883-1916. Yellowstone National Park is a national park located primarily in the state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho.
