Faywood Hot Springs is a historic resort in Grant County, New Mexico, known for its 142°F mineral waters advertised to cure rheumatism, kidney ailments, and stomach troubles [1][4].
Located at an elevation of 4,520 feet [1][2], the spring produced 140,000 gallons daily of 142-degree water [1][2]. The waters were considered helpful in treating stomach and kidney disorders [1][2], and the climate was described as exceptionally equable [1][2]. By 1891, the hot sulphur water was piped into bath and sweat rooms where temperatures could be adjusted [3]. A large modern hotel with a perfect climate was promoted to visitors [4].
