This is another really bizarre GNIS case, but this time I don't think we can blame the compilers. A 1946 aerial shows the problem plainly: the construction of the internment camp wiped out everything here, not just the area covered by the present park. In particular, the area where the label sits in the topos is covered by a complex of barracks-style buildings. The topos do not go back this far, but what they do show has no correspondence with the aerials to speak of, though the style of the maps shows that they were updated some time after the war. The park service website is no help that I can readily find, and the camp completely dominates searching, so that while I can find it being called the "Hunt camp", I've been unable to get any info about what was here before. I'm somewhat reluctant to redirect this to the camp article, and "unincorporated rural community" is yet another euphemism for "we don't know what was here, but there's nothing there now."

• Delete The address for the only thing in the alleged town, the Minidoka National Historic Site, is listed as being in Jerome County, ID, as apparently they do not consider Hunt to be a town.
