除了马萨诸塞州威廉斯敦的沙泉外，新英格兰地区没有可识别的热液地热资源。新罕布什尔州的白色山脉的放射性岩体显然没有足够的储存热量，使它们成为一个可行的目标，为一个诱导热液系统，如存在于新墨西哥州洛斯阿拉莫斯附近的芬顿山。低品位热量的唯一潜在来源是与该地区更新世冰川作用有关的松散沉积物中含有的大量地下水。在调查过程中，在佛蒙特州的圣约翰斯伯里发现了一个不寻常的和无法解释的热异常。
With the exception of Sand Springs in Williamstown, Massachusetts, there are no identifiable hydrothermal geothermal resources in the New England region. The radioactive plutons of the White Mountains of New Hampshire do not, apparently, contain sufficient stored heat to make them a feasible target for an induced hydrothermal system such as exists at Fenton Hill near Los Alamos, New Mexico. The only potential source of low grade heat is the large volume of ground water contained within the unconsolidated sediments related to the Pleistocene glaciation of the region. During the course of the survey an unusual and unexplained thermal anomaly was discovered in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, which is described.
