Evelyn, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

All sources that have anything substantive to say about this place unanimously identify it as a station on the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad, a bit of badlands railroading of the sort beloved by Lucius Beebe and his buddies. It died and was taken up in WW II, and the only sign of it now is mention in GNIS and a conspicuous, perfectly circular scar on the other side of the road that appears to have been paved at some point. It appears in aerials as far back as 1983 (which as far back as my source went), but I could find no explanation for it other than the dubious and unsourced statement in the article. At any rate, no evidence of a settlement. Mangoe (talk) 04:56, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I've been looking over the Tonopah and Tidewater sites with Articles for deletion/Bradford Siding, California and Articles for deletion/Scranton, California, and had come to the conclusion that this was just a railroad feature, as well. Hog Farm Bacon 06:04, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
