Anál, a former settlement near the Guadalupe County line, is now a ghost town with no resident population. Some maps also label a place called Evanola in this stretch of the Pecos valley, but no current gazetteer entry or population figure for it could be confirmed, so it is omitted here rather than guessed at.<\/p>\n
