What GMaps shows a vague group of houses which might be called a locale, at best. The topos are quite illuminating, because the oldest one (from the 1940s) show a White Oak Lodge, and take a pair of ponds as Twin Lakes. The label changes to Whiteoak Lodge, and then it goes away and the area itself gets labelled Twin Lakes. A settlement? No. Mangoe (talk) 16:39, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No post office. Searching Newspapers.com and GBooks was difficult because of the many Twin Lakes around, especially near Santa Cruz and Bridgeport. As reported above, there is a GNIS record for White Oak Lodge (Historical) that seems to be quite close to Twin Lakes. Searching for newspapers.com for ' "White Oak Lodge" "Twin Lakes" ' found some real estate articles and one article about earthquake aftershocks. Twin Lakes has no legal recognition, very little coverage, #1 or #2 of WP:GEOLAND are not met. Cxbrx (talk) 19:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
