This seems to be a very tiny subdivision of maybe three houses in the hills near Payson. It's a bit of a mess because there are two other "Sleepy Hollow" places in the area: a street on the other side of town, and an RV park in another town. What tips this off is a real estate listing for a nearby house on Sleepy Hollow Ln. (other other street is a "Drive") a short distance from the supposed location, with a couple of other houses around it. The name comes from a Forest Service map, but the topos show a quite different picture: they show "13 Ranch" just east of the supposed spot, and indeed, to the degree that one can believe GMaps, there is a 13 Ranch Road leading south from the main road. At the spot itself, there is nothing at all. As far as believing GMaps: they completely hallucinate a road out of a power line, so their picture of things here is a bit shaky. Just to the east on the main road there is a cluster of various businesses (ATV rentals and camping/ranch accommodations), all of which think of themselves as in or near Payson, and none of which mention Sleepy Hollow. Neither do any of the real estate listings. I haven't seen the FS map but while the place is certainly populated, nobody seems to think of it as a settlement named Sleepy Hollow.

Delete No sign of a populated place called Sleepy Hollow at this location. –dlthewave ☎ 05:04, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I found one Arizona Republic article from 1996 about the "Lone fire" that says "rumors of an evacuation blew through Punkin Center and Sleepy Hollow". Not even sure if that was the same Sleepy Hollow since the two are 50 miles apart. Not enough to substantiate there is any sort of recognized community by this name.
