Another case of a late appearance in the topos, but in this case searching was readily fruitful, and this page from the people who now own the property explains all. "Blue Cast" (note the space) was a "Magnetic Springs and Sanitarium", which operated from 1902 up to the depression, with some interruptions and many changes of ownership. The place names book gets the name origin correct, but calls the spot a "village", which appears unjustified. The location is wrong too: the ruins are marked on all those topos that do not record any such place name. So, not an unincorporated community or town and anything of the sort. Possibly the spa itself was notable, but that's a different article. Mangoe (talk) 02:18, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Searches returned only advertisements for the sanitarium, no independent coverage or evidence that a community existed here. –dlthewave ☎ 05:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
