I have no idea where the picture in the article was taken, as there's no obvious structure at the point given in the article. That location is wrong anyway, another case of label drift: older topos show this is yet another railroad point where there just isn't anything. Baker talks about the post office and people named Plummer but otherwise is no help. Mangoe (talk) 15:11, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This source--though not especially reliable--describes the community. Although it does not mention any houses there, there likely were people living there if had a store, post office, and so forth. You can see the former railroad track on maps. Plummer was located within "Plummer Township", which is described in several sources: [1], [2],[3],[4]. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:42, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked at the visitgc.com site before, and yes, I have misgivings about it. For one thing, it's written as if the post office was a building of its own, which was likely not the case: if there was a train station, then that's where the post office would be. Another possibility would be in the store. And yes, we've found many isolated stores. Also, there's some signs that it depends upon us, as the cases I've looked at there all begin such that the info could be extracted from the corresponding WP article. It would be great if for instance we had some idea of where the extra info comes from, but we don't. Mangoe (talk) 04:14, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the image names were mixed up - "Plummer" was Newark, "Newark" was Belmont, "Belmont" was Chapel Hill, File:Chapel-hill, Indiana.jpg could be anywhere in Indiana, and there are probably more. Peter James (talk) 21:53, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the township article. Washington Township, Greene County, Indiana. A real place, if not necessarily a settlement within the meaning of GEOLAND. Eluchil404 (talk) 04:24, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would support a redirect. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:01, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
