Paul, et al;
I use 5 Mile Meadow because it is the name we created and it is the way most
people who have observed there call the site. We can certainly mention in
the text that it is equal to the map name you gave, but I think that most
observers would like to stay with the name as given the first two years we
traveled there.

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?
