Sulphurdale
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Sulphurdale is a named warm spring in Beaver County, roughly twenty miles from the town of Beaver. Its water is tepid, warm to the hand and little else. No water sample is on file, so what is dissolved in it is unknown. Public access and landowner are also missing, and no USGS site number is attached, which leaves Sulphurdale better understood as a place name than a destination for now.
Reaching the spring means a walk of a few hundred feet from the nearest road, whose name is not recorded. The elevation did not make it into the record either. What did is the weather: this corner of Beaver County gets nearly six feet of snow across a winter and more rain than most of the state's warm-spring country, so the ground can be wet or drifted in for months.
The three winter months are the ones the record marks as best. Plan on snow in all of them. Adelaide Campground lies about eighteen miles away. There is no survey date for the temperature and no chemistry on file. Access status is blank too. Check all of it before you go.
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 Sulphurdale.

That's about 2½ times the US average of 65. It's higher than at 97% 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.
