Hot Sulfur Springs near Carlin (updated 2003)

A series of springs and seeps along a 500-m-long northwest trending zone in NW¼ Sec. 8, T33N, R53E have temperatures as high as 65°C according to Trexler and others (1982), who referred to them as Dry Susie Hot Springs. The springs issue from a contact between gravel and lacustrine silt units; the total flow of the springs is estimated at nearly 300 L/min (Kirk Laird, written commun., 1999). The spring alignment may be related to a northerly striking normal fault (Trexler and others, 1982).
