Topographic maps here show a point where the road goes down to the river in the middle of a swamp, which is confirmed by searching elsewhere. Newspapers.com has about a half-dozen passing mentions, none of which contribute to WP:GNG and which generally confirm that this is a river landing. Best I can find elsewhere is a passing mention in Horry County, South Carolina, 1730-1993 in a sentence listing river landings, as well as a trivial appearance in a blog listing of "25 Unusual South Carolina Place Names". River landings don't get the WP:GEOLAND auto-pass, and nothing I found constitutes significant coverage per the GNG.

Comment - while one map I saw has the label "Cartwheel Landing" here, my searching for this site made it pretty clear that Cartwheel Landing is a separate location, as Polecat and Cartwheel appear in lists separately. Hog Farm _Talk 18:52, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "is an unincorporated community" appears to be false, no population at all on the topo. When is this mass-creator going to own up to his mistakes? Reywas92^Talk 19:54, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Appears to simply be a river landing. Not enough sources. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:04, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
