Tom Brown 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.
Tom Brown Spring sits off Tom Brown Road in Meriwether County, five miles from Manchester. Water here is barely warm, under seventy. Do not come for a soak. It is a roadside spring, roughly 260 feet from the road, with no owner or access status in the record. The USGS lists it as a thermal point all the same, which is why it appears here.
Piedmont ground at seven hundred fifty feet. Mild climate and close to four feet of rain a year. Snow next to nothing. Roadside, so the walk is nothing. The road shares the spring's name, which is the only connection the record draws. No land unit is given, and no designation.
December through February rank highest by climate, which for water this cool is beside the point. No campground and no fee on record. Treat this as a named cool spring, something to look at, since the temperature is below what anyone would want to sit in. no access is on record, so ask around before you stop.

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.
