In the bygone era, communities were formed because of economic reasons, the railroad passing through, or a prominent family build a number of houses. Out of necessity, a church, a school, and a general store were erected. In certain situations, the post office and/or stagecoach helped establish a small village. Over time, the amalgamation of post offices and the lack of train service doomed certain towns. This book serves as a printed tour guide of many of the settlements that have disappeared off the map, but are not forgotten.
