Thomas Flats Warm Spring
Thomas Flats Warm Spring is a tepid spring, mid seventies, on BLM ground in Owyhee County about eleven miles from Murphy. The Four Rivers Field Office manages it and access is open. Figure on about 500 yards of walking from the road. The water is too cool for a hot soak. The USGS numbered the spring as a site but logged no chemistry.
Desert floor at around 2,400 feet, and very dry: eleven inches of snow and nine of precipitation in an average year, with the thermometer averaging upper fifties. The Bureau of Land Management holds the ground, and it is open to the public. The walk in is short and there is no road name recorded. No designation beyond public BLM.
Winter gets the nod as best season, and in this climate winters are mild. Silver City Campground is the nearest camping at about 22 miles. No water chemistry is recorded and the temperature has no sample date. No fee is noted. At that temperature the water is lukewarm. The access class is short walk.
This small campground is located in a partially restored 19th-century mining town. Please plan to bring your own water. Don't use the water running through the campground from Jordan Creek because it may contain mercury from prior mining activity in the area.
