Kevin,
Here in Arizona, the best tourist ghost towns would have to be Jerome, Tombstone, and Bisbee.
The best deserted ones in my opinion are Ruby, Duquesne, Kentucky Camp, and Swansea. Of those little known, there is a site near tombstone called Boquillas which is not listed anywhere as being a ghost town. If you would like to see some photos of these sites, I can send you some scanned photos if you are able to receive the appropriate formats.
Here is my e-mail address:
