Bryantsburg, just a few miles south of Hazleton, is now a trailer court, houses and some wildlife land.

Hamerville was located east of Brandon at the intersection of Highway 150. Today, the site is the location of three farmhouses.

Vista, was once located between Brandon and Independence. It appeared on maps frequently until the 1950s. This site is not even accessible by a paved road/roads.

Kier,  was between Fairbank and Littleton. It appeared on maps in the 1800s and early 1900s. The area is now settled by Amish colonies. 

There  were towns named Middlefield that existed southeast of Winthrop, but are unpopulated today.
