All topos and aerials show a couple of buildings a little ways from the railroad, but I couldn't find evidence of anything town-like except for the zip code. And about that: if you search by town name, it does indeed give that zip code, but then says, "This ZIP Code™ used for a specific PO BOX". I couldn't find an explanation of this, but it suggests that the now-single-property picks up its mail somewhere else. I'm not seeing the GEO-notability.

Note also that there are a lot of things named "Horse Creek" around, including multiple creeks.

Keep It's a tiny community, but it's a community, and it got newspaper coverage in 1989 when a couple from North Carolina bought the entire town: see
[1],
[2], and
[3].
This article seems to explain the post office situation; apparently the physical post office was closed in the early 2010s because of an emergency operational issue.

Keep. See
WP:GEOLAND for example. Even if it's just a single property now, it wasn't in the past; it was a real community, and notability isn't temporary, or we might delete articles on no-longer-extant entities like
Roman Empire and
Soviet Union.

Weak Keep per sources above and
WP:GAZ. Can't find many more substantial sources on Newspapers.com, but it certainly existed as a small community in decades past. AviationFreak💬 05:41, 17 July 2023 (UTC)reply
