Another GNIS screwup. Does not appear on topographic maps, the coordinates show a small localized depression near a spring. I'm finding newspapers.com hits for "the Ponderosa Basin" and a few real estate listings. This makes it clear that it's a subdivision. I'm also finding a few name drops for Ponderosa Basin chapel, which is in the area, but has a postal code for Mariposa, indicating that this likely doesn't have a PO. Looks to be a minor geographic feature where a subdivision was later built. Probably too minor to pass WP:GEOLAND as a small basin with little recorded history; the subdivision also fails WP:GEOLAND, GNG is not met. Hog Farm _Bacon 17:48, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No post office. It has a fire station, a chapel and a mutual water company. I confirmed the following points of the AfD submission: The water company page has a bit of history and states that it is a subdivision created in the 1960's. Newspapers.com indicates that lots started selling in 1965. There was a fire in 2008. This area has at best trivial coverage. Cxbrx (talk) 22:05, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Appears to be a suburban housing development. No indication of notability. Glendoremus (talk) 03:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
