The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Whetstone was often referred to as the "Y" because the intersection of State Routes 82 and 90 had an eastbound lane on 90 and a southbound lane on 82 that created a Y at the intersection. Highway 90 ended one to two miles further north, and people traveling north had to go via Highway 82 east or west and then north on either Highway 83 or Highway 80.

Nothing in Whetstone is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Whetstone has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Fry Pioneer Cemetery in Sierra Vista, 11.3 miles away.
