Barclay

''Elevation: 5,354

Pronounced "Bar-CLEE. A remote ranch and former Mormon settlement, 25 miles southeast of Caliente in Lincoln County.''

The town of Barclay is listed on several ghost town websites even though a handful of people still reside here on neighboring ranches. From whichever direction you approach it, Barclay is quite far from most major population centers. At present, a total of other six ranches are located in Clover Valley and "Barclay" itself consists of an old Mormon cemetery, an abandoned Post Office building, the original fully-restored one-room schoolhouse-church and the original Barclay Ranch, first settled in 1898. One of these ranches is owned by the National Mustang Association that serves as a sanctuary for wild horses.

How To Get Here
Accessible from the semi-improved unpaved Beaver Dam Road. Head east for 18 miles to an unmarked road sometimes signed as "Hafen Way." The "town" of Barclay is two miles south of this junction.
