Hyder, Arizona - Ghost Town

Hyder is a ghost town and farming community in Yuma County, Arizona, United States. It and surrounding areas (such as "Sentinel" and "Agua Caliente") houses several different types of fish, shrimp, and other types of farms, one school (Sentinel Elementary School), and two gas stations/general markets..

During World War II it was the training spot of General Patton's desert forces. The nearby Agua Caliente also had a large hotel during this time.

Very little remains about the old camp, but veterans sometimes come back to visit this place.
