Description: This dataset represents the approximate location of springs mapped in Oregon. Upon compilation, many duplicate springs were identified among the three datasets. Springs were determined to be duplicates if they either:(a) were found within 10 m of each other, or(b) were found within 100 m of each other and had the same name.Springs with the "SpringType" = hot were based on point measurements made by DOGAMI with temperatures > 100° F. Springs with the "SpringType" = warm were based on point measurements made by DOGAMI with temperatures < 100° F but warmer than nearby or connected water temperatures. Springs with the "SpringType" = thermal were qualitatively determined by DOGAMI to have thermal characteristics, but did not have an associated point measurement. Most springs have the "SpringType" = unknown, which means they did not have qualitative assessments or quantitative data regarding thermal characteristics. These springs may be hot, warm, or cool.
