Frankly, I can't figure out what this site is/was. GNIS is sourced to a county highway map; topos show a road junction with little there. I found a single reference to the Owl Trap post office being in Mr. Dutton's store in 1920, as well as references to a modern housing development, a road junction, a vague "area", and a modern landfill.
So really, all I can determine is that the Owl Trap p.o. was in a store in 1920, that Virginia Country Real Estate was advertising Owl Trap as a housing development in 1992, and that talks about putting a landfill here evidently started in 1993. I'm not seeing good evidence for notability. Hog Farm Talk 04:46, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

- Delete per Hog Farm's assessment. I'm not sure there was even a post office here; the article I found is a letter to the editor mentioning the need for one since the mail had to be dropped off at Mr. Dutton's store. – dlthewave ☎ 14:33, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
