Quay County contains dozens of ghost towns*

The past is strewn all over Quay County.

(Quay County Sun) On a wall of the Quay County Clerk's office hangs a 1964 map of ghost towns in New Mexico.
The New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources compiled the map, of which copies are available from the office for a fee. In Quay County, the map shows about 20 ghost towns that might be unfamiliar even to longtime residents - towns with names such as Tipton, Revuelto, Canode, Adberg, Ard and Hanley.
It turns out the map far underestimated the number of defunct settlements in Quay County. Continued

*Not Really: Most of the towns listed in the article have disappeared entirely. Your best bet for classic ghost towns in the region are Glenrio, Nara Visa, Cuervo, and Yeso.
