I saw an article recently where a mapmaker went one step further and changed the names of geographic sites because he considered them "ugly" (e.g., PotHole Lake). The police and fire depts. are having fits because tourists call and are stranded at XXX Lake and they have NO idea where that is since the name was made up by the mapmaker!
