As the Ramsay place names source makes clear, this is not and was not a community - it's a plantation where there was a rail stop for an on-premises sawmill. Coverage I found beyond the brief place names entry doesn't muster up to GNG - it's mainly instances of either the proprietor or his business partners using "Lorwood Plantation" as their addresses, or references to events occuring there (such as a murder). Essentially, the coverage mentions this place, but isn't about this place. Plantations can be notable, but they generally don't get the GEOLAND exemption, and I'm not seeing how this one meets GNG, unless I missed some sources.

delete Aerials and topos only go back so far but only serve to ratify the identification of this as a farmstead. The one source with any much material (which is the same source as that cited in the article, BTW), well, there's not that much there, and nothing suggesting that it's notable. We have consistently deleted articles like this one, and I see no reason for this to change.

Delete. Being a stop on a railroad is not sufficient for inclusion, the stop must meet
WP:GNG, see
WP:STATION. I don't have access to Place Names Of Six Southeast Counties Of Missouri, though the
New Madrid County Place Names, 1928-1945 has a paragraph about Lorwood that cites it. Passing reference in a list of place names is not significant coverage, so #2 of
WP:GEOLAND is not met. As this location has no legal recognition, #1 of
WP:GEOLAND is not met.
