William Henry Jackson should be here, not sure exactly which image, probably "Old Faithful". His pictures had a huge impact on getting Yellowstone designated as a national park, leading to the development of the U.S. national park system in general, which in turn inspired many other country's national park systems. Unlike Adams, one can point to a very real, very enduring non-photo-world effect from his landscape images.
