This gets lots of GHits, but all the real ones are for an oil field. The name doesn't appear on topos until the late 1950s, and they do not correspond very well with the aerials, which start by showing a rural crossroads which first acquires a building where the Golden Bull restaurant sits now (in a different building), then gradually gets a string of ag businesses trailing down the north side of the road off to the east. Eventually a subdivision appears in the northwest quadrant of the intersection. What I cannot find is any reference to this as a settlement. Mangoe (talk) 17:16, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Carter 1951 and Weddle 1962 indicate the possibility of renaming and refactoring this into an article about the oil field. It would, after all, mention the road junction that it was named after.

Delete. No post office. Newspapers.com has trival coverage such as a classified indicating that there was a cafe, apartment, 3 pump gas station and four rentals. GBooks has mentions of oil wells at that location. As this location has at best trivial, non-notable coverage, it does not meet WP:GEOLAND. Cxbrx (talk) 01:36, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
