This on proves to be a bit, um, ambiguous. It's referred to fairly often as a reference point, but after that it is unclear exactly what that point is. The topos and thus GNIS plop it on a spot that used to be a string of tourist cottages and is now an RV resort, and there is also a forest service campground of the same name a few hundred feet west. But if you follow the road south to the main road, there is a gas station and cafe there, and it appear that it is this spot that most people mean now. So it comes across as more a locale than a spot, but either way I find nothing showing either of these to have ever been a town or the like, and I couldn't find any historical information on the name.

Delete per WP:V and WP:GEOLAND. No evidence the subject exists, the two sources cited in the article are not reliable for the fact it's a populated place (and in the case of "AZ Hometown Locator", just not reliable). Even if it is a populated place GEOLAND required legal recognition to qualify for near-automatic notability, populated places without legal recognition have to pass the GNG (and it clearly doesn't). I can find it mentioned as a place [1] [2] but nothing that establishes it's a populated place. Hut 8.5 18:23, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
