Ghost Town
Sierra County, NM
Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
1880s silver camp in Chloride Creek canyon west of Truth or Consequences, once home to thousands of miners and saloons along Wall Street. Today a quiet living ghost town with preserved false-front buildings, the Pioneer Store Museum, and publicly viewable streetscape — one of the more intact mining-era cores in the Black Range foothills.
