A handful of names on older maps — Bluff Beach, Breezy Beach, Sandy Beach, Pine Ridge, Golden Pond Estates, and several “MH Park” (mobile-home park) listings — are lakeside subdivisions or private trailer courts rather than census-recognized places; they are omitted here as unverifiable against current Census Bureau data.<\/p>\n
