I finally saw a map that labeled a lake as a city park

Last weekend my buddy handed me a tourist map he grabbed from a gas station near Lake Tahoe. The map had a giant blue blob labeled "Truckee City Park" which is actually Donner Lake. I pointed it out and he shrugged saying the map was free so who cares. Has anyone else found a map where someone just made up names for landmarks?

I once bought a map that had my house labeled as "Historical Dump Site" so I guess I can't judge that lake too harshly.

Man, @eric_carr, that map sounds like it was made by someone with a grudge... I've dealt with that kind of thing before. Best advice is to call your county assessor's office and ask them what their official records show for your property. Then take a photo of their map and keep it saved on your phone. That way if anyone ever gives you a hard time about it, you've got the real deal ready to go.
