Not unusual for maps to be wrong depending on the
source data used.....possibly the road changed at some
point in time and the source data for the mapping
software was not up to date. When I did a cache off
Highway 30 a year or so ago ...I was looking for a
major road leading to the area I needed and the road
was completely gone!.....I found where the road had
started but there was nothing there anymore even the
ditches had been graded over.
Mapping software is only as good as the latest source
data used
