Stan Shuatuk is a populated place situated in Pima County, Arizona, United States, just north of the international border with Mexico.[2] Historically, it has also been known as Cervantis Well, La Moralita, Molinitos, Molinton, Molonitos, and Serventi Well. In 1941, the name officially became Stan Shuatuk through a decision by the Board on Geographic Names. The name request came through a request by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, who stated that Stan Shuatuk was "used and understood by the residents and Papagos (Tohono O'odham) in general."[note 1] In O'odham, stan shuatuk means "hot water". It has an estimated elevation of 1,772 feet (540 m) above sea level.[1]
