Another GNIS error. GNIS states that it is census coded as U6, but when you look up the census codes, U6 is equivalent to a "locality point", which also includes airports, post offices, and health care facilities, none of which would get the WP:GEOLAND free pass. State Historic Society calls it a post office next to someone's farm. Not on the 1886 topo. 1939 topo shows two buildings at a crossroads. By 1991, there's only one building here. Best Gbooks mention I can find is a namedrop. Fairly clear this was a minor fourth-class post office, and while the name stuck around locally, this was never the sort of legally recognized community that would pass WP:GEOLAND, and it fails WP:GNG as well.
