Searching is hopeless (denim pants, anyone?) but since nearly every topo labels this as an oil pumping station, I think it is safe to say that it isn't a settlement, nor a notable anything else. Mangoe (talk) 20:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note Searching for hard-to-search places by including nearby settlements often helps. A search for Levis Mendota reveals it's the name assigned to a quadrangle (typically named after the most notable named place in the designated area) and a USGS survey of 1916-1918 notes here that the place was not then occupied. The soil there does seem to be of some interest. Whether the name comes from a previous settlement I'm not sure, but both Mahlon Levis and his son John Levis were well-renowned ranchers of Fresno county in the 19th century.----Pontificalibus 20:24, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per nom. they do an excellent job researching these geo articles, I see no reason to doubt them regarding a lack of sources. // Timothy :: talk 15:22, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
