Several small communities on this list, including Baxter, Meridean and Norton, are crossroads or former mill-era settlements without a modern civic government; they are included because they still appear on county and postal records. No two places in Dunn County share a name with a neighboring county’s community, so there are no confusable pairs to resolve here.<\/p>\n
