Ghost Town

Forepaugh

Maricopa County, AZ

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

Abandoned railroad siding and short-lived early-20th-century settlement west of Wickenburg on the desert flats near US 60—post office 1910–1916 with minor ore-reduction and later WWII-era glider training field remnants. Thin vertical fabric (foundations, airstrip traces, scatter); field value is landscape and transportation history on the Wickenburg–Harquahala approach rather than a rebuilt tourist street.
