As the article implies, this is a rail location; an 1898 report states that the railroad operated a quarry here. No sign of a town, though. Mangoe (talk) 03:40, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's actually quite a lot of there there, but I can't think of any reason why we should have an article about any of it, let alone this name at those exact coordinates. I assume we already have articles about St Josephs City, the Hopi reservation and the Navaho reservation. The power plant? Geronimo's? Those are all five to ten minutes from there. See previous remarks; based on memory and all the roads and buildings, I actually think it's arguably a settlement. But unless I have a lightbulb moment, I can't think of any reason to argue the point. If I don't come back to this, call my input a very weak delete on the rationale that just because we *could* host an infobox about it doesn't mean that we should.Elinruby (talk)`

  • Delete - I wasn't able to locate any sources supporting this was ever a populated place. This source calls it a "no-population town". Magnolia677 (talk) 11:26, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
