This one is a bit of a puzzle, not helped by a Giveout Creek in BC which generates a lot of false GHits and it being another odd "town" name. The oldest topo map I can find shows "Giveout (site)" at this location, but I cannot find anything that gives any indication of what kind of facility or whatever it was the site of. There is a USDA climate station in the immediate area, and apparently someone collected butterflies and perhaps other bugs in the area, and there are references to a "Giveout anticline" which I'm not sure whether refers to this locale or the BC one. But there is just nothing here except a side road which goes up into the forest and turns into a dirt track which connects to the next road over. I cannot find any reference to it that says it was a settlement or does anything except refer to it as an area on the map or comment on the oddity of the name. Perhaps those adept at searching newspapers can find something but I'm loathe to keep this without better verification. Mangoe (talk) 22:25, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete According to a whole lot of newspaper hits (it regularly advertised in the Montpelier Examiner), Giveout was a travelers' camp and ranch in the early twentieth century, but there's no indication that it was ever a populated place (or an especially notable campsite).

• Delete There may have been something here, but there's no sign that that something was a notable populated place. –dlthewave ☎ 15:00, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Lacks sigcov, no basis for "is an unincorporated community" claim. Listed as a ranch and camp. Reywas92^Talk 19:16, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
