Someone at GNIS opened up "Welcome to Calaveras County and Western Alpine County" (date 1993), which apparently had the name "Blue Lake Junction" on it somewhere around the spot GNIS gives, and copied it into their database. What is there now is Blue Lake Springs, California, a high-end subdivision wich could enjoy notablity. Before that, there was a road. Period. For whatever reason this generated a lot more geo-clickbait than usual, but I could find nothing whatsoever indicating it was a real place at all, much less a "community". Interestingly, Geohack places the name at the entrance to the community, but there is nothing there but signs, and by all evidence there never was anything there. The name doesn't appear on topos at all. Mangoe (talk) 04:37, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
