Grafton is one of the most photographed ghost towns in the West—and where the 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head' bicycle scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was filmed. Mormon cotton settlers faced floods, Native American conflicts, and finally water diversion that killed the town in 1944.
