Ash (Alamo) Springs are south of Crystal Springs at NW¼ NW¼ NW¼ Sec. 6, T6S, R61E). There are six main springs. Reported temperatures are 31-36°C and flow rates are 28,880 to 39,000 L/min (Eakin, 1963b; Mifflin, 1968). The springs issue from a contact between alluvium and dolomite bedrock. The water is used for irrigation and domestic purposes. The springs were used in the past as a spa, but the facility was closed during a 1993 visit. Natural pools are used for bathing. Brownie Spring (SE¼ NE¼ SE¼ Sec. 28, T5S, R60E), about 3 km northwest of Ash Springs, is reported to be warm (Hess and Mifflin, 1978, p. 108). Garside and Schilling (1979) reported that Carpenter (1915) mentioned a "warm" spring in Section 18, 5 km to the south of Ash Springs. This is an error; the spring referred to is reported by Carpenter (1915) to be in T6N, and thus refers to Hot Springs Ranch Spring in northeastern Nye County.
