Description
Montezuma Well is a detached unit of Montezuma Castle National Monument near Lake Montezuma, Arizona. It is a natural limestone sinkhole located about 11 miles northeast of Montezuma Castle.
The Well measures 386 feet in diameter from rim to rim and contains a near-constant volume of spring water even in times of severe drought. The water is highly carbonated and contains high levels of arsenic. At least five endemic species (the most endemic of any spring in the southwestern United States) are found exclusively in Montezuma Well: a diatom, the Montezuma Well springsnail, a water scorpion, the Hyalella montezuma amphipod, and the Motobdella montezuma leech.
The label "Montezuma" is a misnomer as the Aztec emperor Montezuma had no connection to the site or the early indigenous peoples that occupied the area.
