From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Going through Category:Unincorporated communities in Kentucky and identifying ones with names that indicate they may be false. This is a list of further attention needed; many of these will likely indicate real places; not all will need deletion.

Fords
  1. Ford, Kentucky
  2. Laurel Ford, Bell County, Kentucky (if legitimate, should be moved to Laurel Ford, Kentucky)
Crossings
  1. Great Crossing, Kentucky
  2. Kidds Crossing, Kentucky
    • Not in Rennick 2016k. Uncle G (talk) 23:20, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Kidds Crossing Road, about 300m further west than the GNIS pin, crosses Kidds Branch. Uncle G (talk) 02:10, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
Ponds
  1. Mill Pond, Kentucky
"Mouth of ..."
  1. Mouth of Bear, Kentucky
    • It isn't in Buchanan. It is Buchanan. Uncle G (talk) 22:36, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
  2. Mouth of Hector, Kentucky (AfD discussion)
"Right/Left fork of ..."

Rennick doesn't have headings for right or left forks of anything; and given how common it is to name very minor streams as right/left-hand forks of the bigger downstream bits that have proper names, this is only reasonable.

  1. Left Fork of Blackberry, Kentucky
    • From aerial photographs this is clearly the course of a left-hand fork of downstream Blackberry Creek, apparently dried up by humans but still traced by the course of Left Fork of Blackberry Road. Rennick's annotated map of Matewan has some marginalia. Uncle G (talk) 03:22, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
  2. Right Fork of Long Fork, Kentucky
  3. Right Fork, Kentucky
Stores
  1. Bryants Store, Kentucky
  2. Kidds Store, Kentucky
  3. Peytons Store, Kentucky
    • Not in Rennick 2016p which only has Peytonsburg and Peytontown. Uncle G (talk) 00:14, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Bing Maps underpin puts Peytons Store about 500m up the road. A Peyton Branch stream and a Peyton branch Road farther still along the road are suggestive. Uncle G (talk) 02:10, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
Corners
  1. Cherry Corner, Kentucky
  2. Goffs Corner, Kentucky
Station
  1. Jump Station, Kentucky
    • Not in Rennick 2016j. Uncle G (talk) 00:10, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Mentioned with "Hwy 122" in a list on page 13 of a book entitled The Walls of Kentucky. Unclear what the list is. Uncle G (talk) 02:10, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
  2. Reynolds Station, Kentucky
    • "Small community of homes" also known as Deanfield per Rennick 2016r, both names were also postoffices and railroad stations. Uncle G (talk) 00:34, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
  3. Shelby Gap Railroad Station, Kentucky
  4. Spring Station, Kentucky
  5. Turners Station, Kentucky
Mill
  1. Lusby's Mill, Kentucky
  2. Muses Mills, Kentucky
  3. Prices Mill, Kentucky
  4. Ruddels Mills, Kentucky
  5. Smith Mills, Kentucky
  6. White Mills, Kentucky
    • Hamlet with post office per Rennick 2016w. Once owned by President Buchanan's dad. Summer camp. Uncle G (talk) 23:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
  7. Star Mills, Kentucky
    • Not in Rennick 2016s. Uncle G (talk) 00:23, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
    • There are Star Mills Eastview Road and Star Mills Road here. Possibly mills next to or on the Nolin River, as aerials appear to show the ruins of a weir. Uncle G (talk) 02:10, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
  8. Holmes Mill, Kentucky
Landing
  1. Wises Landing, Kentucky
    • Site of a controversial 1970s-1990s power plant construction endeavor, working on expanding. Hog Farm Talk 23:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Hamlet with Corn Creek post office per Rennick 2016w. Rennick also has the power plant up to 1979. Uncle G (talk) 23:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Junction
  1. White Oak Junction, Kentucky
    • Settlement originally named White Oak, Junction added when the railway spur arrived, erstwhile post office, per Rennick 2016w. Uncle G (talk) 23:47, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
  2. Stony Fork Junction, Kentucky
    • Not in Rennick 2016s. Uncle G (talk) 00:23, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
    • The river that goes pretty much right through the GNIS pin is Bennetts Fork. The confluence of Bennetts Fork with Stony Fork is about 1km downstream. Google Books reveals that the Stony Fork Coal Company used to have a mine 9 miles to the west of Middlesboro at Stony Fork, and there's a railway junction for a spur at Stony Fork Junction that leads out to it, whose course is visible in aerial photographs and roughly parallels the creek and crosses a couple of roads with "coal" in their names.

  3. Flemingsburg Junction, Kentucky
  4. Bardstown Junction, Kentucky
