When did the "Old West" transition to the "New West"?
Did it really ever change?
Let's take a look at the abandoned town of Gleeson, Arizona to discuss this idea and more.

I first experienced the high desert back in the mid eighties, being from the rust belt it was an eye opening experience. Never in all the TV or movies did I get the impression of the sheer beauty, or the variety of plant life. I went on to see Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, each having a new twist on the theme. Thank you Karl, for rekindling a fond memory.

Edit: I have to admit was got me into the history of the west was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. And I realize that were very interval part in the changing world with the old West as it turned into the new modern world. The age of the outlaws dying out.

I enjoy these OWVs. We have several similar sites locally where I am in rural OK. Ours are oil instead of silver mines, but I have four true ghost towns in the county I patrol, and several that were decent sized towns at one point and are now down to nearly ghost town status, and will be there within another 10-20yrs. Even on our family land we have several slabs where there were different oilfield equipment. My grandparents built their hay barn on a slab that was at one point a huge power house to power wells before having a small engine on each well was practical. I enjoy seeing how those who came before us lived, and you do a great job of showing how the adage “the more things change the more they stay the same” is often accurate.

Karl thanks for the extremely interesting and informative video. I will be sharing this video with others, as you suggested. InRange constantly reinforces the decision I made a while back to become a Patreon supporter in some small way. The videos you show demonstrate in a stark and definitive way how the 'world' changes and has changed in the 'Old West'. Lest anyone believes, however, that the time is static everywhere but the 'Old-New West' needs to think again. I've had the opportunity to discover actual and virtual 'ghost towns' in the east coast from New York to Florida west to the Mississippi were at one time prosperous communities really lasted only 30-50 years before collapsing from various reasons, in fact, most people in the United States are probably less than 50 miles from one of these locations, maybe much closer even in heavily urbanized cities. Now almost all are either private property or government-owned (over the last 50 years likely due to buy-outs) so access is restricted due to safety reasons (you don't want to be falling into a 30' pit only covered by rotting boards) but they are there. What you pointed out that towns, communities, even cites become 'ghost towns' for various reasons, war, resources depletion or becoming economically unviable, economic depression, etc. In the US today, if one wishes to drive the old highways crisscrossing the nation, you can see some communities that were extremely vibrant and thriving just 25-30 years ago which have begun the slide into ruin, from the forces of 'off-shoring' and globalization and all it took was in some ways changes in government tax policies. I urge people to at least get out and do a 'road trip' away from the interstates and comfortable urbanized areas. Some of these places even have internet access, although there are some, not many anymore, pockets where cell service is lacking. Oh yeah, if you think these forces are exclusive to the United States, when I visited Europe I saw similar situations myself and from correspondence and speaking with colleagues in Europe and Asia, they've seen in as well. It's like the human condition seldom changes. Once again, thanks for the video, InRange.
