Ghost Towns of the Southwest

There are quite a number of ghost towns in the Southwest, but as with all things historic, time takes its toll. What was nice 30-40 years ago could be non-existent today. So rather than provide a comprehensive list of everything out there, I will focus on the best preserved town sites in each state. If you see any huge omissions, be sure to drop me a line.

And if what you’re really looking for is that comprehensive list of every foundation, grave stone, or mine site in the United States, I recommend Ghosttowns.com. 😉
