Source Notes

Temp range from 43 C to 84 C. Numerous spring vents; NW trending fault; USGS lists temp as 77 C in 1972. Discharge is an estimate. Report at IDWR says uses were hog scalding and recreation. This location is ~300 feet SE of Wayland HS 2, 3, and 4.

Longitude from USGS database was somewhat different than the existing value but I decided to replace it anyway.

IDWR records are useful for location and temperature context. Conditions, access, ownership, closures, and safety can change.
