Gillett

Arizona's ghost towns are sun-bleached and honest — copper, silver, and gold camps that lived fast and died the moment the ore did.

Leslie Alexander Gillett (February 15, 1881 – February 20, 1969) was an American college football coach. He served as the third head football coach at the University of Arizona, coaching for one season in 1902 and compiling a record of 5–0. He was later chief highway engineer of New Mexico from 1918 to 1922.

The on-the-ground condition of Gillett 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 Gillett 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.

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.
