Endee

New Mexico's ghost towns layer Spanish-era villages, railroad creations, and coal camps across a single stark landscape.

Endee is a ghost town on the route of historic Route 66 in Quay County, New Mexico, United States. The town was founded circa 1885 and named after the brand of the ND Ranch. In 1952, Route 66 was rerouted so it bypassed Endee. Endee was a supply center for ranches in the area. In 1946, the town consisted of a grocery store, a gas station with "modern restrooms", a repair garage, a school, and a scattering of cabins. A post office also operated in Endee from 1886 to 1955.

The on-the-ground condition of Endee is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Endee is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Endee is roughly 35.1378, -103.1078 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
