Ghost Town
Santa Cruz County, AZ
Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Quiet former border hamlet in the San Rafael Valley where a U.S. customs station once faced Mexico across a lonely cattle country road. Scattered historic buildings and open grassland valley setting remain on public approaches; a classic remote Santa Cruz County ghost-adjacent townsite without the mine-shaft hazards of the Patagonia Mountains camps.
