Spring
The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Another spring the record names only as Spring, this one inside the San Carlos Reservation, about ten miles from Globe in Gila County. Warm water, on the tepid end. It is tribal land and public access has not been established. Expect a walk of something under half a mile, in from a road with no name attached.
A little shy of four thousand feet. The country around Globe gets fourteen inches of rain and some snow in a year, five inches or so. Nothing on file names the road, the land designation is tribal, and no unit beyond the reservation is recorded. Camping on the record means Kellner Group Campground, nine miles or so away.
Do not go without clearing it with the reservation first; access is unknown on file. Midwinter is the time on file. Kellner Group, about nine miles off, is the camping option recorded. The water is warm, nothing hotter, and with no sample on record there is no way to say what is dissolved in it.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.

Heat flow measures the warmth working its way up through the ground from deep inside the earth. Where it runs high, rain and snowmelt that seep down through cracks in the rock come back up hot.
