Thermal Springs In The United States

A review of available literature has revealed information on the location of springs, the temperature of the water, the rate of flow, the chemical character of the water and evolved gases, and the uses made of the water. For each country or geographic area there is a brief description of the geology and map showing the location of the springs.

"This list of United States thermal spring locations and temperatures and accompanying maps have been compiled in the course of preparing the maps: (1) Geothermal Energy Resources of the Western United States by National Geophysical and Solar-Terrestrial Data Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) (Grim, 1977); (2) Geothermal Energy in the Western United States and Geothermal Energy in Alaska and Hawaii in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Assessment of Geothermal Resources of the United States-7978 (Muffler, 1979); and (3) State maps in press and preparation for the State Coupled Resource Assessment Program, U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Geothermal Energy (DOE/DGE). The list is a compilation of compilations, mainly from Waring's (1965) monumental Thermal Springs of the United States and Other Countries of the World; a Summary, USGS GEOTHERM computer file of thermal spring and well data, and currently active DOE/DCE-sponsored thermal data collection by State agencies and other organizations"--Page 1.
