[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1961397, member: 11315"] When printed road maps were the craze, companies would get upset that they would do all the leg work in making a street map then some other company would copy it and call it their own. Companies smarted up by putting small variances in a town map that doesn't exist. Non-existent dirt roads and fake pond names were commonplace. If a second company copied the map with the fake part included, they would be sued for copyright infringement. It's probable that a city or town planner could have added it into their database without following up. I'm sure it still goes on in the digital age with Apple maps and Google.
