Wilford

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

Wilford Parley "Whizzer" White (September 26, 1928 – August 1, 2013) was an American professional football player who was a halfback for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He also was a member of the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was selected by the Chicago Bears in the third round of the 1951 NFL draft. He played college football for the Arizona State Sun Devils and became the school's first College Football All-American.

The on-the-ground condition of Wilford 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 Wilford 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.
