Springs in Sec. 23,26, T27N, R43E have reported temperatures of 50-54° C (Waring, 1919; Hose and Taylor, 1974; Crostwaite, 1963; Lamke and Moore, 1965). The water is quite low in silica, and the estimated thermal reservoir temperature using the silica geothermometer is 92°C (Mariner and others, 1974). The water is believed to be heated due to deep circulation along a fault that passes through the area (Waring, 1919). At least 11 springs are present, and the springs' deposits are travertine.
