The highest spring temperatures in Mineral County are found at Wedell Springs in the SW¼ Sec. 7, T12N, R34E. These springs are called Rawhide Hot Spring on the Walker Lake 30'x60' Quadrangle map. They consist of two main springs with temperatures of 53.9-62.2°C (Eakin, 1962a). The site is surrounded by junk, but the hot spring pools are free of debris. There are 3 large pools with temperatures from 49-56°C. A sample was collected from the pipe discharging into the western most pool, with a temperature of 51.6°C in April 2006. Schrader (1947, p. 146) reported that excellent water for domestic and other purposes was hauled to the mining camp of Rawhide, about 22 km west of these springs. A hot well is found about 7.5 km to the north (SW¼ SW¼ Sec. 17, T13N, R34E). The hot springs are near a range-bounding fault along the west side of Fissure Ridge and the Monte Cristo Mountains (Kleinhampl and Ziony, 1985); the hot well is in the valley about 2 km west of this fault.
