How is it interesting that maps make mistakes? In an article about a
town, would we say that a map once spelled it incorrectly?
One error in one edition of one map... probably not notable enough to
include. A widely-repeated error that has propagated across multiple
maps by multiple publishers, and found its way mistakenly into
various reference sources as a result, might be a notable enough fact
to warrant mention. It's a judgment call.
