Givens Hot Springs
Givens Hot Springs is hot, in the upper hundred-teens, in Owyhee County about ten miles from Marsing and a short way off Givens Lane. OpenStreetMap carries the same name. no land owner is on record, as is public access, which matters; the record does not say if the ground is private or public.
Low desert, under twenty-three hundred feet, with about a foot of snow in winter and eleven inches of moisture in a year. Givens Lane is the approach; the water is listed 356 feet from it. No campground is listed nearby. A photo exists. The file holds no chemistry and no land unit for the site.
Winter is rated best, and with so little snow that works. You would not get straight in at that heat. Access and ownership: unknown, check before going. Nothing for camping in the record, so this is a day stop unless you find something the file missed.
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 Givens Hot 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.
