There even used to be a border train that connected Douglas, AZ with El Paso, though that has been torn out for a long time now. If you go into the Gila there's plenty of solitude there, not to mention the Bootheel; however, from my own experience there's sadly not as much solitude down there as there used to be 15-20 years ago due to the beefed up Border Patrol/Smuggler presence nowadays. Otero Mesa is the other large area where you will find silence.

Agree about Otero Mesa....better still is just to east at "Crow Flats" in the Salt Basin....
only town in the area is Dell City, Texas, population 367 ...just to the south....
