Nzoner's Game Room>Where are the most desolate places in the lower 48?
Ocotillo 11:11 AM 07-07-2024
I am looking for places in the lower 48 states that are the most desolate. Ones you go to when you want to get away from people.

A place where you might only see one other car drive down the highway every 30 minutes. An area with minimal paved roads and mostly gravel ones.

A place that's at least 200 miles from the nearest McDonald's or other chains.

A place with minimal cell phone service.

A place where if you get into an emergency, you have to be a man and toughen it out. You can't rely on first responders to bail you out.

What places come to mind?

There is no one in the chargers championship trophy room.


I think you could spend the next 20 years in there and not see anyone.

Hell if you’re in Texas, I would suggest the Big Bend area. Just take I-20 west past Midland/Odessa and go south once you hit Monahans. I took that trip on a three day weekend from Dallas. Gorgeous area if you don’t mind being surrounded by Mexico on two sides.

It doesn't get much more desolate than southeastern Oregon where it borders with Idaho and Nevada.

North/West of Truth or Consequences is out there. Central/Western New Mexico.

OK panhandle and NW Texas feels like a metro area in comparison.
Yeah, this I drove back roads from Carlsbad back to Texas panhandle and there's plenty of NOTHING.

Some of the places we're talking about have no people, but it's apparent that people are on the land. You'll see fences or cattle or wheat fields. In the Navajo Nation you've got only the road and nature.

75% of those counties are federal land and federal land is maintained and guarded by game wardens (and cartel grow operations)...Not the case in Western KS:

the kansas - 2010 census results map is shown in green and shows areas that have been highlighted

Only driven through Western Kansas twice but it felt like I was on mars. It looks abandoned and they're still in the dust bowl.



From my limited experience here I can't think of anywhere in the country as devoid of humans or civilization as this. Probably stacks of unmarked graves and lost species roaming around.

I imagine the lack of light pollution would open it up to being rather desolate.
I was on a kibbutz in the desert of Israel. About 100 miles from the dead sea and any civilization. 200 miles the opposite way to the Red sea and civilization.

At night the Kibbutz lights are minimal. I'd go out about 1/2 mile away into the desert. Lay down flat. The sky and the stars looked like they were right on top of you. The crisp and clear nigh sky was amazing.

There is large area that encompasses Nevada California Idaho and Oregon that is as remote as it gets in the USA. There is a reason they didn't find the wreckage of that experimental aircraft pilot Steve Fossett for more than a year. It was in the Great Desert Basin between California and Nevada. I was working in that area for an overland pipeline for El Paso oil. Recovering land section corners to describe the new pipeline easement. That the original GLO Surveyors set land corner posts at these section corners is unbelievable. These were extraordinary men not made like that since.

My Grandpa when he was alive had some homestead land in Wyoming that was pretty desolate.
