I have been trying to get the Google Maps people’s attention for years on this subject, which needs high level database correction.
The error is in Ecuador, South America, on the Continental Divide, political boundary between the provinces of Loja and Zamora Chinchipe, and, of importance ro me, on the boundary of my land, Bosque Protector El Bosque.
Please look at this place:
-4.1926655, -79.1055540
The river is incorrectly represented. No river can cross the ridge any place in the world, but here, Rio Sabanilla has been extended from it’s rightful place to the East to cross the ridge and join Rio Colanuma, which is not labeled.
Rio Colanuma joins Rio Banderilla to form Rio Uchima.
Rio Uchima joins Rio Chamba to form Rio Vilcabamba.
None of the above are labeled, although they rightfully should be. There are no labels until Rio Piscobamba which joins our unlabeled river forming Rio Catamayo, a major watershed leading to the Pacific Ocean in Perú.
My hope is that someone reads this post and recognizes the gravity of the error, and knows who to contact in order to fix it.
I am a former ArcMaps user, and available to share my local knowledge to help correct this serious error.
Thanks,
