Overview

A traveler’s guide to ghost towns and historic villages of Arizona and New Mexico, featuring maps, historical background, and color photos.

The Southwest is home to an enticing array of ghost towns and historic villages. Once-bustling mining camps, frontier towns, and railroad towns stand today as reminders of the glory days of mining and the Wild West. Historic buildings, abandoned schoolhouses, old mills, and overgrown cemeteries offer fascinating glimpses into the past.

Ghost Towns of the Southwest guides you to the fascinating and scenic ghost towns of Arizona and New Mexico. Popular tourist destinations as well as out-of-the-way spots unfamiliar even to natives of the region are included. Many ghost towns are within a short drive of the Grand Canyon, Santa Fe, Big Bend, Phoenix, Albuquerque, and other tourist attractions. Maps, historical background, and stunning color photographs bring to life dozens of ghost towns and provide practical information for exploring this fascinating chapter of American history.
