and
even a Powellsville Pike, but the original town seems to have dried up and
blown
away."

USGS to the rescue:

Hello Tracy, Jeff, and List,

Powellsville, Ohio, was an easy target for my Microsoft Encarta (1993-1996)
and an even easier target for my electronic US-Atlas (I don't know the title
of the English version but it is copyright by Pro CD Inc., Danvers, MA).

The latter even lets me zoom in so I can see it is on Route 522 not far away
from Poplar Fork Pine Creek with Oakes Road running a little to its west.

Regards,

Bernd

Mapquest found it very quickly too.
But I don't think it is much of a "town"
Tracy asked about other "towns that might have dried up and blown away", I
think Russell Gulch in Colorado is an example of that. There isn't much there
now, a few empty houses, a few abandoned mines, and an old cemetery.
Any others?
