[Talk-us] Retagging hamlets in the US

[Charlotte Wolter]

Everyone,

         Aren't some of these "hamlets" still 
used as postal addresses? In that sense, they still exist.
         Also, in the West we have the phenomenon 
of old rail infrastructure, such as watering 
stations, that were named. A good example is 
Adamana near the Petrified Forest. There are 
still a couple of houses there. Would will still consider those "hamlets"?
