Sou Hot Springs is located mainly in the SW/4 S29, T26N, R38E about 1 mile north
of the Seven Devils Ranch, which lies at the south end of the Sou Hills in northern
Dixie Valley. Recent temperature measurements indicate maximum temperatures
are about 163¾ F, although Hague and Emmons (1877, p. 705) reported that the
hottest springs and pools are 160¾ to 185¾ F, and there was a great variation
of temperatures within a short distance. The area consists of a low mound of
travertine covering about 12 acres which is built up to a height of at least
60 feet above the plain. Ten to twelve circular hot-spring pools from 6 to 60
feet in diameter are reported. Mariner and others (1974) estimate that the minimum
thermal-reservoir temperatures may be in the 212¾ to 237¾ F range. Senterfit
and others (1976) have reported audiomagnetotellurics data in the Dixie Valley
Known Geothermal Resource Area.
