Let me start by saying that the assertion of a population of 125 on the part of the CAB is completely implausible. Aerials only go back to 1960, but they show a vast, almost trackless wasteland, marked only by the railroad and its paralleling highway. The topos go back further and show Kim to be a passing siding and nothing more; the closest building is a long ways off to the northwest. There is just no chance in hell that this was an "unincorporated community".

Your citation is merely a topo quad which has nothing more on it than a name. This area is in fact so empty that there is a huge area marked as "unsurveyed", and that area isn't filled in that I can see until the 1965 edition, and there still are no buildings marked on the quad! In fact the 1927 map only has two places names, a couple of wells, some roads, and the railroad, besides a lot of contour lines. As proof of a populated place, this simply does not cut it; I would take it as proof of an unpopulated place.

I'm gonna say Delete on this one. There's multiple sources in the article that only refer to Kim as a railroad station, and a small one at that. @
Mangoe: - I actually suspect the 125 population may be a reference to
Mohawk, Arizona, as the CAB report has Mohawk in parenthesis after Kim, and one of the other sources mentions that Kim was near Mohawk.

Delete Concur with nom, no evidence it ever was anything more that a location along the railroad. I found a 1937 newspaper article that said 25 years prior, 1000 feet of track was washed-out in Kim which delayed trains to Tucson. It was probably a passing siding as stated above.
