Rotten Egg Spring is located on the western edge of the Smoke Creek Desert, north of Round Hole.

Thompson and West (1881) state "Six miles south of Sheep Head is a spring called Buck, or Bull, Spring, and six miles farther south is Rotten Egg Spring, a name peculiarly appropriate, so extremely disagreeable is the water both to the smell and taste."[1]
