GNIS spam. Although the name appears on topo maps, I could find no evidence of a community or notable place at this location. –dlthewave ☎ 17:28, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

delete This looks like a mistake at some point where someone converted the benchmark which is there into a place name. I can find no evidence at any era that there was anything else here. Mangoe (talk) 01:29, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I like places, but this isn't much of a place. Google Earth shows there's not even a cross-roads or a house at this location; I wonder if there's a mistake in the coordinates. There are several dozen homes on dirt roads scattered over about a square mile 3/4 mile to the northwest.
