While you search, write down any names of buildings or addresses you find.
Once you have a building name or an address, go ahead and open Google maps. From there type in the building name, or the address to pull up the location. Streetview and satellite images will give you a better idea if the area is abandoned. Overgrown gardens, missing shingles, gutters that are falling apart, and holes in the roof are great indicators that the building you have found is abandoned.
If you want to find your own abandoned sites without using a Google search, you can skip the search and go directly to satellite view on Google maps.
From the aerial view, you can scout old railroads and railroad stations, lakes, rivers, even find isolated buildings hidden in the middle of nowhere.
You will still want to look for the same signs of abandonment as before; structural problems, broken windows, roofs that need repair, overgrown lawns and gardens, and cracked parking lots. Your best chances are going to come from small rural areas where you can probably find an old abandoned barn or two.
Talk to a Realtor. It can show them details about foreclosure, buildings that have been on the market for years, or properties that owe a lot in back taxes. Without outright saying these properties are abandoned, they are pretty big clues. To narrow down your search to try to find abandoned properties, try changing the filters to see properties that have been on the market the longest, or by the oldest build year.
You should also try keyword searches. Area groups can be extremely specific or show very generalized areas depending on what you search for. You can bring up results for cities, states, or even the entire country. The group searches are handy if you want to search for locations within a city or state, or even if you want to find a specific type of building. Some photographers will use abandoned buildings and properties as focal points for their work. They travel and document the spaces that used to be used, and show the spaces in their current state of abandon and ruin.
Photographers may not give out exact addresses for everyone to find these locations, but they may tag a location when they post the pictures or even take photos with clues on where they could be.
A picture of a motel sign could be searched in Google to help you find the abandoned location so you can also visit.
All of these tips can work wherever you are. So if you move, or you want to do some exploring while you travel, or even if you want to help your best friend halfway around the world find some new places to see, you can use any of these tips.
