Jackrabbit House, Arizona

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to have been...a house? It's a little murky on the topos because the name shows up on the map after the building does. It's gone now, though you can see what appears to be foundation walls from the air. The name, apparently, comes from the Jackrabbit Mine that used to sit on the other side of the road. Arizona Place Names mentions a "Jackrabbit Well" (named after the mine) but that and a tiny cemetery listed on Find-a-Grave are the only non-gazetteer/clickbait hits.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep and Move. There is a 1972 article in the Casa Grande Dispatch that talks about construction at Rt15 2 miles north of the "Jackrabbit house mine". But I then searched on "Jackrabbit mine" and found this which talks mostly about the geology of the area but does say "Gold and silver deposits within the Jackrabbit area have been exploited intermittently since 1881, with mining activity centered around the Jackrabbit Mine, Turning Point Mine, and the Desert Queen Mine.  Mining reached its highest level of activity in 1910, and by this time a sizable community, locally known as Jackrabbit, had grown adjacent to these mines." So there was apparently a community named Jackrabbit, which peaked in 1910. Searching on that name is difficult for obvious reasons, but I presume there are more sources out there. I think the article needs to be moved and expanded. MB 01:33, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep and move to Jackrabbit, Arizona. The community is attested. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 23:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
