Hi @lovedeepsingh

If you had shared a link it would have been easier to help you.

Near where you live I found this area: https://goo.gl/maps/pzcTLfqwsSpQshpH7

No pin just a name. In this case, the name is “20 BB”. When you click it a red outline shows up on Google Maps. That is a named area. It could be your local authorities who have named some villages that you are not aware of. I don’t think these are something Google made up.

If you are confused about areas and items on the Map, please enjoy my post called Easing frustrations II: Stuff we can’t edit on Google Maps.

So in conclusion, you need some official (governmental) maps as proof. If you can find that, then

open the Maps support forum.

Hit the Community tap at the top and make a post.

Cheers
Morten

Hi @lovedeepsingh , thank you for asking

Local Guides cannot edit, nor add, such data

This is something that actually only Google Maps team can manage

You should report the issue to the Google Maps Help Community , where they can escalate the issue to the Google Maps team.

Make sure, for your post to be considered, to add a link to an “official” documentation (governative) where it will be possible to see the correct name of the road.

@MortenCopenhagen Thanks for Reply your article helps me so it means we can’t change wrong information on Google Map. if i will have map of that from the local authorities ( government official).
