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 is a generic name, and this is one of several in Elko County. This one lies about five miles from Jackpot and runs at a soaking temperature, a bit below body heat. The record is thin. No one is named as owner, and the access status is blank too. No chemistry. No photograph. Elevation is a shade above five thousand feet.
The road beside it has no name recorded, and the spring is sixty-some feet off it. High country here. Winters bring close to four feet of snow, with moderate precipitation over the year. Diamondfield Jack Campground, about twenty miles away, is the camping listed. Past that the record is thin. No land unit, no designation. Nothing describes what the source looks like.
December through February are the months flagged. Roadside access. Nobody owns it on paper, so look for posted notices and assume private until told otherwise. Diamondfield Jack is twenty-odd miles if you want a campground. Put a hand in before you get in, since the temperature figure is undated and unverified.
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.

That's about twice the US average of 65. It's higher than at 67% of the springs on this site.
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.
