Underwater - Archers, Dome Rock, Stevens Gulch, Deansbury,Waterton, Phillipsburg, Longview, Loviers, Wolhurst, Mill Gulch,possibly Lamb, but that may still be there, because it was far enough up the hill.
See if VL can find - Pine Cliff, Symes, Dawson, Estabrook, Chase, Nighthawk, Deer Valley, Hutchinson, Belleville, Hildebrands, Thomsons, Brownville, Bordenville, Mountaindale, McLaughlin, Vermillion, Webster, Bryn Mawr, Kaiserheime, Cassells, Singleton, Ferndale, Maddox, Long Meadow, Altrunia, Grousemont, Wallen Station,Willard, St. Ruby. I should take Estabrook of the list, since people still live there, and I did not include Insmont for the same reason, nor Crystall. Other towns are still towns - Pine (obviously), Buffalo Creek, Bailey, Slaughts (figure that one out, VL), Grant, Foxton. Glenisle is obvious, even though no longer a town. Yes, there were ALL legit towns and they ALL can be found on the maps, IF you know where and when to look.
Give you a hint, VL - they all existed from here to Kenosha pass. I'll also give that some are likely long gone thanks to the Hayman fire.
For $200, I'll give you my map with all of them on it, AND point them out on Google maps, since I know how to find them all.
BTW - is is NOT pronounced Cressens by anyone but those ignorant of area history. Of all the towns that changed names in this area, Crossons NEVER did. At least learn a small bit of the history before spouting off about it.
(Yes, I know I didn't mention all the towns - but this is enough of a challenge, is it not?)
Oh, and photo evidence, VL - I've been almost all those places and I'll know your lies. (Thoise I haven't been to I have access to historic photos of and honestly, a great portion of the area has NOT changed.)
Up to the challenge? Likely you will find more berries as well. And some other interesting stuff, if you are so inclined. And learn some history as well!
Bonus Challenge - Symes has a different name and is actually rather easy to find - here's the challenge - used to be a town and train station there - can you tell me where they were?
