Gunsight, Arizona

edit

Is this the same town as Gunsight, Arizona? Sherman seems to say they are two towns (indirectly as there is an Allen entry that mentions a town called Gunsight). Varney appears to omit this town. The GNIS entry (ID 23928) contains the following for Gunsight:

History: Named for the Gunsight Mine and Mountain nearby about 1880. It was also called Allen for John Bracket ('Pie') Allen who had a store and made good pies.

I don't have time to research this further right now, but I didn't want to lose this information. -- Transity(talkcontribs) 00:05, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Indeed it is, per the GNIS ref itself. There is more in Sherman and the GNIS ref that can be added here. -- Transity(talkcontribs) 14:45, 31 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
