Montezuma's Well and Montezuma Castle Pamphlets National Park Association

This listing is for Montezuma's Well and Montezuma's Castle Pamphlets.  

This listing is for 2 pamphlets of Montezuma's Well and Montezuma's Castle. Montezuma Well is a detached unit of Montezuma Castle National Monument located approximately 11 miles from the park. Montezuma Well is a limestone sink formed long ago by the collapse of an immense underground cavern. Over one and a half million gallons of water a day flow continuously, providing a lush, verdant oasis in the midst of surrounding desert grassland. The waters of the well contain several forms of plant and animal life not found in any other waters of the world. This unique habitat is perhaps due to the constant input of large quantities of warm water that enter through underground springs, keeping the environment within the well very stable. 

Prehistoric Hohokam and Sinaguan cultures took advantage of this source of water by irrigating crops of corn, beans, squash, and cotton. The rich riparian and surrounding uplands provided wildlife and native plants to supplement the agricultural products. Visitors to the site can still see traces of ancient lime encrusted irrigation ditches from past farming activity.  Montezuma Castle is the best preserved cliff dwellings in the United States. Built by the Sinagua Indian Culture over 600 years ago. Situated above the Verde River. This cliff dwelling has  Five-storys and 20-rooms. This site attracts over 1 Million visitors every year. And was proclaimed a National Park in 1906. The Anasazi ruin of Montezuma Castle National Monument is well worth a visit. The ruin is located in a recess half way up a cliff, so you can only view it from below. From the Visitor Centre there is a short trail with signs explaining details of what is known about the people who built the cliff dwelling. Great early North American historical item to check out the area or for historical research.
