Land use in the western US can be strange. If the 'town' was legally incorporated in the past, it may be a valid political entity retaining the right to enact taxes and fees or apply for state development funds, etc.

Dis-incorporating an abandoned town probably needs lawyers, and possibly action by the state leg, and someone to advocate for the action. That might get messy if the town was never entirely abandoned.
