This is a "what were they smoking at GNIS" case, as the spot was and is the south end of a not that big of an island in the Teton River which it divides into two streams for a pretty short distance. There is nothing around it, and there isn't the slightest hint it was ever a settlement. Mangoe (talk) 04:05, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

• Delete' - GNIS actually includes a description this time, which states Two Forks is an area where the Teton River splits into two sections and then merges again into one stream. The whole area is marked on topos as an uninhabited swamp, and the only pre-GNIS USGS topo this seems to appear on is the 1979 Bates 1:24000, which has this in the italics font used for non-community features. Searching brings up nothing suggesting this is a notable location, and Idaho Geographic Names calls this a "locale". Clearly false, yet another GNIS error. Hog Farm _Talk 00:27, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
