Lovell

Oklahoma's ghost towns got it from both sides — oil booms that built them overnight and the Dust Bowl that emptied them.

Lovell is a census-designated place (CDP) in Logan County, Oklahoma, United States. It was first determined by the United States Census Bureau prior to the 2020 census. As of the 2020 census, Lovell had a population of 28. The CDP is in northwestern Logan County, 3 miles (5 km) west of State Highway 74. It is 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Crescent and 24 miles (39 km) northwest of Guthrie.

The on-the-ground condition of Lovell is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Lovell is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
