Stanton

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

Drew Emeric Stanton (born May 7, 1984) is an American former professional football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 14 seasons. He played college football for the Michigan State Spartans and was selected by the Detroit Lions in the second round of the 2007 NFL draft. A backup for most of his career, Stanton held a starting role with the Arizona Cardinals. Stanton was also a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that won Super Bowl LV.

The on-the-ground condition of Stanton 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 Stanton 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.
