----------------------------Original message---------------------------- All, ZZYZX is listed as a "Locale" in GNIS. There is also a ZZYZX Spring, a ZZYZX Air Strip, and a ZZYZX Road. It is in San Bernadino County, California on the "Soda Lake, North" quad. If anyone has any history on the name, I'd love to hear it.
