Place Names - This Place Deserves A Place Name

[Lynn_M]

There's a place I know that's known locally as Dead Man's Arch. I say 'known locally' because the place name doesn't appear on any maps. I'd like to change that, but who do I ask?

[Old_Geezer]

Probably your council. Maybe a local cartologist.

Many places have local spots 'known as' not sure how you would go about getting map makers to add it - hope someone else does.

Did you ask this or similar on Yahoo a few years ago Lynn?

@Mamyalynne: Can't remember much about it, but it appears that I did! I used to like Yahoo Answers, but then they radically changed the format, so I came back here

Seems quite well known as it is
