This is a water wheel located in the Crescent Moon Ranch Recreation Area near Sedona, AZ. Although water no longer flows to the water wheel, the wheel is attached to its original structure.
The ranch, known by various names throughout its history, has existed at this site since 1880. The water wheel was installed in 1937 to supply electricity for the two ranch houses on site. Water was conveyed to the water wheel by the existing Dumas Ditch, used to deliver water from Oak Creek to the orchards and fields planted along the flat bottom area adjacent to Oak Creek.
