Clark, Washington Meany (not used as source) called it a town but writes about the post office, there are people living there, the county article has it as an unincorporated community. -- James.folsom (talk) 22:12, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Edwall, Washington People live there so ---James.folsom (talk) 22:18, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fishtrap, Washington County article says Ghostown. Meany said it was a town, but wrote about the train station named Vista, and the post office named Fishtrap. The post office was named by the guy whose land it was on. Satellite shows farmland near tracks and a faint outline of a train station foundation. No other evidence of habitation. I corrected original research that said the town used to be called Vista, and was named fishtrap by the guy who named the post office. Meany's writing were interpreted by a Wikipedia editor. This is probably a train station/post office +++James.folsom (talk) 21:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Irby, Washington Meany not a source, but says its a town. Satellite shows a farming operation, but nothing else. Article sources are not strong. +James.folsom (talk) 22:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lamona, Washington Nothing of note currently there, Meany says town and talks about a merchant there. So it's not a post office or train station name. -/+ James.folsom (talk) 22:29, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lincoln, Washington Meany doesn't mention this, so it's more modern. People live there so --- James.folsom (talk) 22:33, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Miles, Washington Likely an unincorporated community associated with the fort -
Mohler, Washington Satellite shows no residential evidence. Meany doesn't have it, so modernish. sources are weak ++ James.folsom (talk) 22:38, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Govan, Washington Meany is not a source on the article and had little to say about it. The article itself is convincing so... --- James.folsom (talk) 22:02, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
