The Steam Well Petroglyphs are located in the Golden Valley Wilderness Area near Red Mountain, California. Found at the site of an old mine and well, on the opposite hillsides above the wash, are a nice assortment of archaic petroglyphs. There is also a ruin down in the wash near the well but it seemed likely that it might be an historic ruin built by the miners although it could be an ancient ruin that was repurposed for their use.
