Is Buckeye Crossroads really Lycan?

edit

There is confusion regarding Buckeye Crossroads and Lycan. Please consider the following:

  1. The coordinates for both locations in the Wikipedia articles are essentially the same.
  2. If you look at Google Maps street view at the coordinates given for Buckeye Crossroads, you will see highway signs that say "Lycan."
  3. I went there and shot a picture, and confirmed it's signed as Lycan.
     
    Looking east along Colorado State Highway 116
    .
  4. GNIS provides contradictory information. It puts Buckeye Crossroads where the Lycan signs are, at the intersection of Colo. State Highways 116 and 89.
  5. However, GNIS puts the "Lycan Post Office" at the intersection. It puts Lycan at the intersection of (Baca) County Roads VV and 48.
  6. GNIS puts Lycan Post Office and Buckeye Crossroads at the same place.

We may be dealing with a name change here, or two names for the same place, one for the intersection and one for the community. In any event, we need to reconcile this, and two separate articles are not needed and only add confusion. Jeffrey Beall (talk) 15:07, 4 March 2019 (UTC).Reply
