User:Hog Farm/ND keywords

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is simply a listing of "unincorporated community" articles with certain keywords in the title that often indicate that the article topic is a false positive or GNIS error. This should not be interpreted to mean that the others are fine, nor does it mean that all of the ones listed here are non-notable, just that these have been selected for further review.

Spring(s)[edit]

Communities often grew up around springs. However, GNIS sometimes mislabels springs as communities, and some are old resorts, not communities. See User:Hog Farm/springs for an example treatment of California ones.

  1. Buffalo Springs, North Dakota - Old village, see [1]. Hog Farm Talk 05:52, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

  3. Sully Springs, North Dakota
    1. Not sure about this one - topos show basically nothing, newspapers.com results confirm that there was a station and a section house (railway) here, as well as (at least briefly) a fur trading store. A number of references to people being "from" or "of" here. Hog Farm Talk 06:04, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Junction[edit]

Often indicates the site of a railroad or road junction. Many communities grew up along these sites, but there are also many instances of GNIS mislabeling uninhabited railroad sites or railroad features within a populated place that are not a communities in their own right.

  1. Hannah Junction, North Dakota - Railroad junction, not a community. PRODded. Hog Farm Talk 05:42, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Mobile Park[edit]

Trailer home parks are occasionally notable, but are often not.
