Cuervo

About This Stop

Cuervo is an atmospheric ghost town along Route 66 in eastern New Mexico. Abandoned buildings, including a vintage church and old storefronts, create a hauntingly beautiful landscape. Cuervo thrived during Route 66's heyday but declined when Interstate 40 bypassed the town. Today, the weathered structures and empty streets offer photographers exceptional opportunities to capture Route 66's fading heritage. Cuervo represents the fragility of communities built around highway commerce.
