- Camel Hump, Wyoming ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View log · Stats)

This is just a flat-out mistake in compiling GNIS. The 1972 topo shows this as a very minor named hill, complete with elevation. Aerial photos show nothing to dispute this: there is just nothing at all around except a road which eventually passes the Camels Hump Reservoir a ways to the east. It's baldly obvious that there never was a "populated place" here by any standard; except for the road and the reservoir the area looks utterly undisturbed. Mangoe ( talk) 18:08, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Keep (or possibly merge if there is a suitable target). It might not be a community (which error needs correcting), but it is a named feature that appears in multiple hiking guides. We at least know who named it and when. It is also repeatedly mentioned in The Geomorphology of the Wyoming-Lackawanna Region. Spinning Spark 18:32, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Uh, the "
The Geomorphology of the Wyoming-Lackawanna Region" is for
Wyoming County, Pennsylvania and
Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.
