Another leftover from a failed group nom, this was synthesized from Durham and a couple of other sources, neither of which testifies to a town by this name. I was able to "verify" the post office against Jim Forte's site, which is technically self-published but which we have never run into cause for doubting; he gives its dates as 1869-1912, for what that's worth. There's no GNIS entry for it and I haven't seen any sign of it on topos, and I cannot work out where the coordinates came from. The part about the " Beckwourth Trail" refers to the valley, not a town, so it's irrelevant. Someone who has a copy of Durham may be able to shed more light on this but the most reasonable guess is that there was a post office set up at the saw mill. That's not the same as a notable settlement. Mangoe ( talk) 02:38, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
