Tyson's Well
Dug by hand around 1864 by
a miner named Tyson, this
40-foot-deep well marked
the spot around which grew
the town of Quartzsite.
Originally known as
"Tyson's Well," "Tyson Wells,"
or "Tyson's wells," the small
community served as an
important watering and
resupply point along the
old Ehrenberg-Prescott
freight-hauling and
stagecoach
route.
