Stone Well

The dark entrance to a well is framed by stones with mortar on a slope.

The remnants of a stone well, thought to be built around the same time as the ranch house (circa 1912), can be found near the corral in the core area of the ranch. The ranch’s irrigation system included two holding ponds, now dry, with water from the two primary spring locations. The east holding pond, in the pasture above the house, was likely used to water cattle. The west holding pond was the source for irrigation ditches that ran downslope to water the agricultural fields below.
