Keep in mind that there may never have been a small town or hamlet any more than there is now. It may have just been a local post office, run out of someone's house, and the house may still exist.

Wilson, Ontario in the Ottawa Valley still shows up on Google Maps. It's just a couple houses on the side of the road. That's all there ever was, but my grandmother was the local postmaster back around the 1940s.
