Unnamed Thermal Spring
An unnamed thermal point in Union County, five miles from Elgin, sitting a few steps off an unnamed road.

It is a dot on the map and little else.
Roadside, under five yards from the road, at about 2,700 feet outside Elgin. Snowfall runs over six and a half feet a year and precipitation over thirty inches, so expect snowy winters and a fair amount of rain. Summit Guard Station Bunkhouse, about twelve miles off, is the closest place to sleep that the record lists. Nothing on file describes the surroundings.
