How about letting me finish first. :-)

Since I started the Flatiron map more than 4 years ago, Google Maps has
come along and has been gradually increasing the resolution of the site's
image. Now you can see wheel ruts. Cherry Road doesn't have the
resolution, but the road is on their map. Buck Butte Meadow and the
Hovatter site don't even have this. In fact, the Buck Butte Meadow seems
to be at a mile offset on my Arizona Atlas & Gazetteer versus the
measured GPS coordinates.
Why are we using the name 5 Mile Meadow rather than Buck Butte Meadow?
