Ghost towns with a file in Arizona

The Arizona files include 16 communities — towns, villages and districts filed under a single reputation. Some kept the name but not the people; others keep both, the reports repeated by residents who live inside them. The filing is geographic; the claims, as always, are reported rather than endorsed.
