Yes, the former name of "West of Sundown" is "Plains 1 NE." I've seen that renaming of featureless quads happen a lot as USGS revises them. By the way, the quad to the south of "West of Sundown" is named "North of Tokio"

Hi, Jim -

That's usually the notation when you'd have a quadrangle named Sundown
but on the quadrangle to the west of Sundown, there's no identifiable
place information to use for a quadrangle name.  So, it becomes West of
Sundown.  There have been a couple of these (not necessarily Sundown),
including, if I recall correctly, one 15' quad that I came across when I
worked at LC.  But, please don't ask me where it was located!

HTH.
