Blackjack, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

According to the State Historical Society source linked in the article, this was also known as "Sample Post Office" which was ... guess what ... a post office. Not on the 1886 topo. 1939 topo has a "Black Jack School" but no town named Blackjack. Small cluster of about 5 or 6 buildings on the 1991 topo where the school supposedly was. Google maps suggests the buildings are two houses and 4 barns, with a Church of God Holiness down the road. Oddly, on the recent topos, the location marked for Blackjack keeps moving steadily eastward, suggesting that USGS doesn't know what/where this is. Not seeing this is a legally recognized place at one point, mainly just a post office, then a school, and then a farm. Not a WP:GEOLAND pass. Hog Farm Bacon 02:13, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
