There are three "Craig"s in California, two of them in Butte County and the other allegedly in Modoc County. The last is scraped out of Durham's gazetteer but is not acknowledged by GNIS (though they do list a "Craig Spring", which is on the maps, but is labelled by all as a spring). The two Butte County locations are both spots on different rail lines, where there used to be passing sidings. The WP line for the one is still there, but it's just a place where the line crosses a road, and there were never more than a handful of buildings about, all apparently belonging to the surrounding farms. the other was on a Feather River line that's long gone: the topo maps that show the line place a single, isolated building next to it. Searching is bloody well hopeless what with the number of prominent people with the name, but even so I find no meaningful trace of any of these places. Mangoe ( talk) 23:02, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
