Here is why I don't trust Baker very far. The GNIS entry comes from a misread label on the maps: you can see that it's the wrong font for a settlement. Baker calls it a village but there is another town (East Mount Carmel) just to the east, actually on land even. This is seriously wrong and obviously not real.

Delete - there is no evidence of WP:SIGCOV of a community and the existence of the actual river complicates finding information about this. starship.paint (talk / cont) 07:45, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No evidence of legal recognition needed for a GEOLAND pass, no evidence of a GNG pass either. FOARP (talk) 11:58, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't appear on topo maps until 1959: [1], and as nom said the font and formatting suggest a township and not a settlement. Clearly a lazy overinterpretation of GNIS used to pad out a fluffy, poorly-researched book. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 12:01, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
