Abandoned Places

The Congress Mine's camp scattered gold-rush life across the Arizona desert north of Wickenburg from the 1880s — mill terraces, foundations and a cemetery remain near the living hamlet of Congress. Desert telling keeps lamps moving on the old workings.

Abandoned Places

Camp Naco

Naco, AZ

Camp Naco's adobe barracks stand weathering on the Arizona border at Naco — a 1919 post built during the Mexican Revolution's border troubles and garrisoned by Buffalo Soldiers, whose service the site's ongoing preservation now honours first. Regional border telling adds dusk sentries who, in the stories, never quite left their posts.

Abandoned Places

Silver King Mine

Superior, AZ

The Silver King Mine made Superior, Arizona — the territory's richest silver strike of 1875, whose bustling camp faded to foundations in the hills below Apache Leap. Its mining telling joins the mountain's own solemn, honoured Apache legend in what may be the desert's most storied square mile.
