I'm having trouble with the maps on this one, because in spite of what GNIS says, I can't find any trace of the label before the 2013 edition. Possibly there is some coordinate error, but in any case there is just nothing much at the location, suggesting that it was never anything beyond a 4th class post office.

• The 1896 United States Official Postal Guide confirms the post office, which is all that the Baker placename book source actually says too, upon reading it; and like Mangoe I find zero evidence for the usual "unincorporated community" rubbish claim by the article that this is something other than an extinct post office or that there is anything verifiable to say other than that it was a post office. This should be in the 1895 edition of Lippincott's Gazetteer, but checking page 2583 there is no post office listed, nor anything for Indiana with this name other than Tanner's Creek. This post office must be truly lost to history not to even have made it into the contemporary Lippincott's. Both the Baber 1875 and the later 1884 histories of Greene County pre-date when this post office was supposed to have existed, so there's no documentation from them to be had.

• Delete per the above. Sources confirm that this was a post office and nothing more. Eluchil404 (talk) 03:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
