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]
Garside and Schilling (1979)[2] cite Waring (1965)[3] who cites Russell (1885)[4]. Waring stated that Rotten Egg Spring produced 10 gallons per minute at 92F and that the spring smelled strongly of H2S.
