Ghost Towns with Unknown Status in Alaska
74 documented towns
There are 74 ghost towns with unknown status documented in Alaska. These places are recorded as ghost towns, but what survives on the ground has not been verified. Treat any visit as exploration: conditions may range from standing buildings to an empty field.
Notable examples include Afognak, Akulurak, Amalga, Attu, Aurora. They cluster most densely in Nome Census Area County, Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area County, Aleutians West Census Area County. Because conditions here are unverified, treat every trip as true exploration: bring maps, water, and a backup plan, and respect private property.
