    The jail looking building was the old Courtland Jail. The iron door and barred windows were pulled out by the county to use in the new Benson jail.

    Courtland used to have the largest automobile dealership in Arizona. I used to ride my dirt bike all over that area when I was stationed at Ft Huachuca.

    Fellow Arizona explorer here- I usually just call BS on such signage and take my chances because it is BS. Sometimes even check property boundaries on a map and verify and find at times they are false or erroneous.
    Have yet to run into any issues.

    Be careful out there Marty and Sightseeing Sally! It's not only the cacti that can poke your skin out there, some of the bushes have long and strong thorns on them. Hope you both are having a good time.

    Been to those old ghost towns many times. You should follow the trail to Cochise, which is now a 'semi-ghost town'. In fact where I used to live. You can still rent rooms there in the old hotel. And if you are ambitious just hike about 4 miles straight west from there to abandoned gold mines. (Red Bird mts). Also-that Ghost Town Trail is a major smugglers/dope running route after dark, proceed accordingly. Good luck.

    The four precisely placed wood planks stuck upright in the ground are grave markers for the four former occupants of the jail who died when someone forgot to feed and water them. To extract revenge, their relatives tore out the window bars and broke up the front doors and hauled them off and dumped them on the front yards of the people responsible for prisoner care who failed at their jobs.

      Alot of old towns were out in the middle of nowhere. So so many mimes and ghost town some.very large.alotbhas changed in the landscapes around these areas so we're not so sure what they looked like in tbe past. But yes many many small town,even some pretty large were way way out in the middle of nowhere. They set up where the mine was.
