Comments: Hyder is a populated place and farming community in Yuma County, Arizona, United States.
Remains: 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. There was also a bar at one point (the Whispering Sands Bar), which was really nothing more than a tin-topped shed, but it was closed some time in 1997 due to a change of ownership and lack of business.

Remarks: A twelve-car-long Amtrak train, the Sunset Limited, was derailed by an unknown saboteur near Hyder on October 9, 1995.
