Wait - you mean Russo's Rock isn't directly above your shoulders? 
Awesome job on the map - it is [bleepin'] awesome! I now have several new ideas about where to go on my next trip out to the east end.
The only addition I am able to suggest is to show the "roads" into the Lava tank. Last summer, I was able to drive into there from the east. I followed "jeep trails" that show up on the USGS maps. I made it in (and out) with a full size 4x4 pickup; a smaller SUV probably would not have enough ground clearance. I also wouldn't recommend that Texans try it.
