Spaghetti Western Locations Then and Now – “Once Upon a Time in the West”

In 1968’s “Once Upon a Time in the West” Jill and her hired driver Sam stop at a wayside station on the way to the Sweetwater Ranch. The ranch was built by Carlo Simi and his crew in Monument Valley.

Today little is left of the location except for some remains of the hitching posts and foundation blocks. The cement blocks were the same type as I saw when I visited Spain and the Leone location of Flagstone, Arizona. This location is not on any of the tourist trails and only a few of the guides know where it is located. The road seen in the photo is actually a dry wash.
