This is another case where lack of info leaves us with quite the puzzle. Baker describes it as a "locale", which I wouldn't take as damning per se, and there is a string of residences along the road as far back as I can get; from the streetview car they appear to date from the 1900s onward. But that is all I can get: I'm getting increasingly annoyed with Google finding stuff I wasn't looking for, but still, I came up with nothing, except the usual clickbait and similarly named places in other states. I think we need more evidence here. Mangoe ( talk) 20:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

- As of a 1975 inventory of dam inspections, the Department of the Army believed that a village by that name existed, but other than being downstream from a non-notable dam, that doesn't offer any help. Even a pretty deep-dive search of Internet Archive scanned media offered absolutely nothing. The redirect to Posey Township, Clay County, Indiana -- where this is included in a list of unincorporated communities -- may be the best call. This verifiably exists/ed in some fashion, but as far as I can tell, no one -- ever -- took note of that and we can't really say anything else at all. Lubal ( talk) 22:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete My reading of Baker is that this is a row of houses nothing more [1]. I couldn't find anything more reliable than baker. I found this [2] a news article about an accident on "Purdy hill". So I think it's a geographic feature used for giving directions. James.folsom ( talk) 22:28, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - this is another one of those locations in Indiana that isn't even a township. Bearian ( talk) 16:52, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
