I don't believe this to be a notable location. The only modern coverage I can turn up for this is use of this place as a waypoint or the fact that a USGS quadrangle map was named for this site. Newspapers.com does not catch any coverage of this either except for an appearance in a listing of places served in a county supervisor's district either. Admittedly, the standard methods do not always do a good job of turning up coverage for older extinct places. However, the lack of any mention in Ed Bearss's gigantic trilogy on the Vicksburg campaign suggests this place was either not known by this name or was not significant at the time, as Bearss' work is very detailed in mentioning the minor place names of the area and the Vicksburg campaign raged right through Hinds County. I haven't seen anything that would indicate a WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG pass here. Hog Farm _Talk 03:20, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

• Delete Agreed, the quadrangle thing is annoying, and I'm not even sure it contains this "place". Nothing in newspapers, books, or google. Well there is stuff, but it is just repeaters of WP and GNIS.James.folsom (talk) 21:21, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
