Posted by Aran Honestly for me local facebook groups such as "Abandoned [your state]" tend to be good resources, especially for finding locations in more rural areas. The vast majority of the posts are going to be grainy exterior shots of farmhouses shot out a car window while flying past at 60mph on the freeway and thus not useful at all, but every so often someone posts a diamond in the rough. I never post there myself since putting up photographic evidence of my trespassing ways under my real name seems unwise, but that doesn't mean I can't lurk and glean some information where I can.

I will also add that in the larger “Abandoned” groups on FB people (at least those in Illinois) will comment with things like:
This is near my high school
I live near here
I went to college near here
This is off Highway x
It’s extremely easy to check a FB profile or Google someone and track down those FB locations.
