This one is a puzzle. The name came to GNIS from another federal gazetteer, but up until recently, there was nothing here at all but fields, a rail line, and some canals. There's no sign that this was a railroad-named point; the name doesn't appear on topo quads until it got copied into GNIS. Of late a desalination plant was built here (the geolocation is right at the entrance to the facility) but there's no indication that "Steam" has anything to do with it, either in name or function. Across the tracks and canals there is a small neighborhood but again I can find no indication that it even has a name; in any case it would appear to be a non-notable spot on the northwest edge of Yuma. Searching is a bear because of the huge array of false hits, but I found nothing. Mangoe ( talk) 03:20, 3 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete That neighbourhood to the north is an exclave of Cocopah Indian Reservation and searches based on that didn't reveal anything. No evidence this is or was a populated place.---- Pontificalibus 10:34, 4 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete There's a cogeneration plant a few miles away that provides steam to local industries, which could have something to do with the name, but there's no sign of anything notable here. – dlthewave ☎ 04:20, 8 March 2020 (UTC)c reply
