I was going to just agree with you, but took a look at the article and
took a look at one of the maps in question:
http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.839503,-92.152655&spn=0.00826,0.023732&t=h&om=1

The map (which overlays a satellite photo) is pretty unambiguous. From
the map one can see the ghost ramp, and can determine its coordinates.
I could accept your point if we were talking about satellite photos
only. But maps are symbolic representations of space; they are
designed to be unambiguous and easily read.
