As I understand it, all populated places, both current and historical, are (or at least were) considered notable. Gage is a former town, it exists in the Delorme Atlas for New Mexico, currently has an exit marked "Gage" on Interstate 10 (yes, I have been in Gage), and is mentioned, as stated in "References", in the WPA Guide for New Mexico.

No "keep out" signs...but I have been followed many miles after doing a curiosity drive down CO RD 20 by 2 people in white pickups.

I think it's odd that there is a reference to it, yet it "doesn't exist" ... but it is there. https://www.emnrd.nm.gov/mmd/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/Gage-nomination.pdf gets one nowhere. However, I also found this:
