The actual location on the topos is by the rail line, where there is still a short siding, but those maps and aerials show a full passing siding and grain elevators, the latter disappearing sometime in the 1980s-'90s. There used to be a church to the east, and its cemetery still exists well to the west, but at the spot itself there's just a farm. Most of the sources I found related to some industrial project that never apparently happened, and I also ran across a ghost town blog that described driving through and finding nothing there. I also found a clip from Origins of North Dakota Place Names (the Williams book) describes it as a "rural post office". So survey says, yes, it was a rail point (with usual post office) and not a notable settlement. Mangoe ( talk) 04:48, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

- Delete post-offices at a rail siding are not defulat notable. The sum of the sources does not suggest this is in any way a place that meets our inclusion criteria. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 15:37, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
