Appears to be some sort of neighborhood or subdivision. GNIS entry is sourced to a street map, which is always a bad sign. Newspapers.com hits seem to be entirely either false positives for random farms along the York River or for real estate listings. Google is mostly bringing up real estate listings and stuff for a HOA in Maine. Gbooks is bringing up nothing useful. There's just no indication whatsoever that this was ever viewed as anything more than a neighborhood, so WP:GEOLAND is not met, and WP:GNG almost certainly isn't.

delete I have a great deal of experience with the ADC maps over the years, and while they have an extreme level of detail, they also label every neighborhood and subdivision. Any placename sourced to them alone has to be suspected of being NN until shown otherwise, and looking at the area, it's clearly just a residential neighborhood.
