Hot Springs Pages

This is an index to my information and resources for hot spring adventures. I have maping tools, some links to other pages, and even a few descriptions from personal experience.

• Mapping Resources

  • TIGER Map Service hot springs maps

    The individual hot spring maps are 0.1 degree squares centered about the spring rendered as 400x400 pixels. These maps show all details available including dirt roads and are to be used for "final approach."

    TIGER maps have an advantage over MapBlast in that they can (and in the case of these maps, usually do) have more than one spring plotted on them.

    • Pre-Formatted Text Interface to maps of all the hot springs in the USA (warning: large document).
    • Menu-Driven Interface to maps of all the hot springs in the USA (same data as above but only 165k).
    • Index of interfaces to maps of all the hot springs in the USA by state.

  • MapBlast hot springs maps

    The individual hot spring maps are 1:32000 scale (at 72 dpi) squares centered about the spring rendered at 400x400 pixels. These maps show street level details available from MapBlast! for use in "final approach" to the spring.

    • Interface to maps of all the hot springs in California.

  • My Mapping Tools

    My Mapping Tools page has a number of useful general mapping and terraine modeling resource interfaces.

• Links

  • Hot spring data from the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center. Hot spring coordinates and temperatures.
  • Soak Net is a semi-commercial site with information on hot spring adventuring.
