List of unincorporated communities
Probably should have put the various links here to begin with; they likely won't count as full-fledged references. Hopefully, though, these will at least serve as exculpatory evidence to the Wiki police before they pounce on the names and delete them on grounds that they were manufactured out of whole cloth.

Masons/Mason's Corner: USGS topographic map for quadrant Chula, VA, from TopoZone.

Pontons/Ponton's Store (sometimes spelled "Pointon"):
 * Official state road sign denoting Pontons Store, Google Street View. The eponymous business establishment is easy to see, of course; but note the green sign (admittedly illegible at the resolution available at time of image).
 * Clearly legible photo of state road sign. The Virginia Highways Project, Adam Froehlig and Mike Roberson.
 * Virginia Geographic Names, Book 2, page 440. National Mapping Division, Office of Geographic Research, USGS, 1981.

Whites/White's Store:
 * USGS topographic map for quadrant Winterpock, VA.

Little Patrick: Full disclosure: Roots and relatives in the area. They have mentioned Little Patrick as the name of a community, not just a road. [They also confirm the name Mason(')s Corner.] Doesn't count as a reference, of course; but this informal observation is at least lent (a tiny bit of) credence here here and here. Unfortunately my skills as a historical researcher are woefully inadequate; could find no other attestation. The task is considerably complicated by the fact of the eponymous road that runs through the area. --2603:6081:8004:DD5:6451:2AC4:EB73:1BE (talk) 02:18, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
