NEW MEXICO
I have visited ghost towns in the state of New Mexico on
several occasions in recent years. The dates of my visits are
shown below next to the town names. The inspiration for the visits came from the
following books:
 | Haunted Highways — The Ghost Towns of New Mexico by Ralph Looney
(University of New Mexico Press, 1968) |
| Ghost Towns of the West, text and photographs by William Carter (Lane
Magazine and Book Company, Menlo Park, California, 1971) |
| Ghost
Town Album and New Mexico,
Texas Ghost Towns by Lambert Florin (Superior Publishing Company, Seattle,
1972 and 1971, respectively) |
| Echos of the Past — New Mexico's
Ghost Towns by Patricia F. Meleski (University of New Mexico Press,
Albuquerque, 1972) |
| Ghost
Towns and Mining Camps of New Mexico by James E. and Barbara H. Sherman
(University of Oklahoma Press, 1975) |
| New Mexico's Best Ghost Towns by Philip Varney (University of New
Mexico Press, 1981) |
| Ghost Towns, Gamblers, and Gold by Chuck Lawliss (Gallery
Books, New York, 1985). |
Here's another nice
site, maintained by Ronald Standler, with more Texas and New Mexico ghost
towns and links to other Texas and New Mexico ghost town sites.
