Provenance
- Which settlements are gone. Geographic Names Information System, United States Geological Survey. A place is listed here when the federal gazetteer flags its record historical; that is the government's judgement, not this site's.
- Where each one stood. The gazetteer's own coordinates, and the nearest named landform and quadrangle from the same file.
- Distance and direction to the nearest surviving place. Computed here from the gazetteer coordinates of both places, straight line, to the nearest tenth of a mile.
- Sheets. USGS Historical Topographic Map Collection. The count is of sheets covering the site, so it describes how often the AREA was surveyed and not how long the settlement lasted.
