A Sacred Place:
Prehistoric man in his constant search for water, might have regarded the natural well at the top of this hill as a hallowed place- a seemingly inexhaustible supply of warm water flowing in the midst of the Upper Sonora Desert.
From about AD 900 to AD 1400, a group of southern Sinagua Indians built a thriving agricultural community here by channeling the well water to irrigate their food and cotton crops. |
