Ghost Town

Ancho

Lincoln County, NM

Coordinate verified

Railroad-era ghost town on the former El Paso & Northeastern line south of Corona. Gypsum shipping and a short-lived boom left a depot-era footprint; the Ancho Valley Railroad Museum (boxcars and local exhibits) and scattered ruins mark a quiet high-desert stop on NM-54.
