A topographer maps the north half of the Lovelock 1-degree quadrangle in the desert area near Jungo, Nevada. The umbrella protected the instrument from temperature variations.

Two topographers working with an alidade and plane table. The man on the right is believed to be Roland Whitman Burchard, who was the topographer for the USGS Grand Canyon Expedition of 1923. Author Lewis Freeman described Burchard as a man of "powerful physique, great endurance, and a cool, steady hand."

This scene west of Halemaumau looks toward the rim of the caldera, southwest of Uēkahuna Bluff. New ballistic blocks and ash from the 1924 eruption coat the floor of the caldera.

Prior to the eruption of 1924, this area was swept clean and used as a landing field for airplanes. This view looking toward the north rim of Halemaumau shows the air field littered with ballistic blocks from explosions in the 1924 eruption.
