Watson

Utah's ghost towns split between failed Mormon farm villages and the rough mining camps the faithful mostly watched from a distance.

Jamie Lovell Watson (born February 23, 1972) is an American former professional basketball player who played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and other leagues. Watson, a 6' 7" 190 lb small forward, was selected 47th overall (second round) by the Utah Jazz in the 1994 NBA draft. Between 1994 and 1997 he played with the Jazz and briefly for the Dallas Mavericks, as well as three games for the Miami Heat in 1999. He finished in third place during the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 1995.

The on-the-ground condition of Watson 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 Watson 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 Watson is roughly 39.8819, -109.1585 — 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.
