Abstract
Potential for direct heat applications in southwestern Washington has led to investigation of the possibility of locating geothermal resources in the area. Proximity to geologically recent vulcanism and faulting and the presence of some thermal waters focus attention on Camas, Washington. Previous studies have suggested southern Washington may lie within a zone of crustal weakness which has experience magmatic intrusion. Existing geophysical data are consistent with the presence of a large intrusive body having an associated geothermal area near Camas.
