As far as I can tell, this is just a house by the highway. It shows up on the topos in the late 1950s (with an initial bobble with one that shows a "Riley" at the same place), but it's never more than the one house. Searching give nothing whatsoever except clickbait and omnium gatherum place lists, but I can find nothing that says anything about this beyond the bare GNIS data. Inserting the obvious apostrophe (which Google insists on if you don't correct it) gives exactly one hit. Mangoe (talk) 14:39, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Searching in newspapers.com finds this 1951 article that says the Riley family hosted a dinner at the El Encinar ranch. (Encinar translates to Holm Oak), so this appears to be a family ranch named after an Oak tree. No indication it was any type of community. MB 16:15, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
