Taylor Spring
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Taylor Spring, Pike County, Georgia. Five miles from Zebulon, give or take. Water here is warm in the mild sense, seventies, well short of anything you would call a hot spring. The road it is nearest has no name in the record, and the spring is five or six hundred feet from it, a short walk. Both No owner and the access is on record.
Low ground for a spring, seven hundred and fifty feet, in a climate that averages mild and rains close to fifty inches a year. Snow barely registers. There is no land unit attached and no campground listed nearby. The approach is a short one on foot from wherever you leave the car, and that is the extent of what can be said about it.
Winter months rank best. Without an owner or access record you are on your own to find out if a visit is welcome. Nothing on fees. The temperature on file comes from the USGS thermal inventory and the date of measurement is not given.
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 Taylor Spring.

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.
