The Salt Well southeast of McCoy. "Early settlers gave it this name because of the waters salty taste. It is a deep natural spring about forty feet in diameter with a steady year-around flow of water which remains at approximately the same temperature in all seasons. Another mystery of the spring is that it has been sounded to a depth of 1,500 feet without finding bottom." -- McCoy Memoirs p.90
