Ewell Station

Ewell Station is a later station of the Butterfield [Overland Mail] located east of Dragoon [Springs, Arizona] and west of Apache Pass#Apache [Pass Station|Apache Pass Station]. This station shortened the route between Dragoon Springs and Apache Pass Stations and provided a water stop not previously available. The station was probably started in late as it is not listed in Oct., 1858 but appears in an account from 1862, after Butterfield had ceased operation. Water at the station was hauled from a spring, located north of the station in the Dos [Cabezas Mountains] and stored in a cistern.
