Sandstone, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

And here's Articles for deletion/Rock, Missouri's more specific cousin. State Historical Society calls it "Sandstone Post Office", which really does seem to indicate no town. Not on the 1886 topo despite existing at that time. (Something to note: I've found a bit of a correlation between appearing on the 1886 topo and being an actual place for the Vernon and Cedar County places). 1939 topo includes places with the names "Sandstone School" and "Sandstone Cemetery", but no indication of a town by the name of Sandstone. By 1991, Sandstone appears on the topo, but with only two buildings there (it's east of the cemetery, but the school's disappeared by '91). Searches for notability-giving coverage brings up nothing, although the total genericness of the name doesn't help. Well, given that it doesn't show up on the topos until the year it gets entered into GNIS (90 years after it's heyday!), and the fact that it's referred to as a post office in historical sources, I'd say Sandstone fails GEOLAND and GNG.
