A switch for a siding which didn't have a name on the maps until the 1959 map. These maps show nothing in particular in the area except the siding and various mines, one of which has developed into Specialty Granules' Ione plant. The siding is still there and is being used to store covered hoppers from the plant, judging from today's GMaps shot. At any rate, there was never anything here in the way of a settlement that I can see. Searching is a monumental pain but I found one reference to "Edwin siding" and another more extensive discussion of the area in general as part of a mining/manufacturing proposal; nothing that said it was a town or describes an "Edwin" in a notable manner.

Delete Appears to be a rail siding miscategorized as a "populated place" by GNIS and further miscategorized as an "unincorporated community" by Wikipedia. –dlthewave ☎ 02:34, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
