The Little Hot Creek Springs area is on the east side of the resurgent dome and consists of several small thermal springs that discharge water at temperatures as high as 82 °C in an area of about 3 acres along the course of Little Hot Creek. The thermal waters provide perennial flow for Little Hot Creek, whose headwaters begin in Little Antelope Valley. Little Hot Creek flows eastward to join the Owens River north of Lake Crowley. Discharge values were obtained by recording the stage in a 3-inch modified Parshall flume and converting the stage to discharge using a standard rating. |
