Many Adobe Buildings exist in Old Hachita
Mining Equipment remains in some Buildings
This Building is made of Rock and Adobe
Old Hachita is completely abandoned today.
The town is split into two distinct locations, both very remote, if you discount the fact that the
railroad town of Hachita is only a few miles away and can be seen from the Old Hachita townsite.
Old Hachita is at an elevation of about 4,500 feet. Many open mines, most of which are vertical shafts dot the area.
All the shafts we explored are flooded from 30 to 50 feet below ground level. Since most of the buildings were built with
rocks or adobe, wood for campfires from fallen buildings is scarce. Trees are non-existent.
This was once The Mill
