Well, it turns out that what Durham and Gudde are to California, Delaware Place Names, a 1966 USGS/CGS report, is to the first state. And that includes occasionally copying items directly into GNIS apparently without actually looking at the map, or in this case, even reading the entry carefully. For there isn't anything now, nor ever was, at the location given for Cocked Hat, and the place names report describes it as a locality, not a settlement or village or any of the numerous other terms that might properly translate to "populated place" in GNIS terms. And once again, I can't find anything else that says anything about it. Mangoe (talk) 03:41, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
