Or Shulee, Shoulie, it got spelled a few ways.

Small rural logging town, good luck finding any trace today. I find the case interesting since we know exactly where it was, we have maps and pictures! Yet, almost nothing is left a mere 100-ish years after it was abandoned.

It really puts the idea of archaeology in a new perspective when you realize things that recent... might be completely gone. It makes the idea "well if there was a city there we'd have found traces of it!" seem utterly absurd. Older places that don't have MAPS showing their location? heh, you'd be hard pressed to even be certain it was real.
