Warm Springs
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Warm Springs in Randolph County, Arkansas, about 16 miles from Pocahontas, is what the name says: warm water, low eighties, at low elevation. The land owner and the access status are both missing from the record, so the spring is known to exist and not much more. No image is on file.
Roadside, under three hundred feet from Blackwell Den Road, at an elevation so low it hardly registers. Mild winters with a little snow, and a wet year overall. The nearest listed camping is the Float Camp Picnic Area, around sixteen miles away. Nothing is recorded about who manages the ground.
Winter months are what the file recommends. Expect water that feels warm on the hand and nothing more, so think of it as something to find. Since nobody has recorded access or ownership, ask locally before crossing onto the ground. The USGS number is the only water-related record; no chemistry sample is attached. No fee is recorded.
Aircraft with laser scanners measured this ground to within inches. The scan strips out trees and buildings, leaving the bare shape of the land around Warm Springs.

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.
