The assertion that "it appeared on maps as late as 1981" is an interesting new twist on the GNIS methodology, but I find no evidence that it is true. In fact, going back through old topos, I find none that use this name; if they have anything labelled there, it is Winona, not Squeaky Springs. I profess a certain curiosity as to what Durham says, but at any rate, GHits produce tons of references to literal metal springs literally squeaking, and one reference to a "Squeaking Springs station" on old U.S. Route 99, but it says naught about it, as does every other such passing reference. The location itself is on the outskirts of the bizarre phantom suburbia which is Salton City, but there is literally nothing there except the traffic passing in either direction of a spot in the median strip. For the record, I don't see Winona being notable either, consisting on the maps at least of three buildings. Mangoe ( talk) 15:57, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
