This is neat. I see a few incorrect street names where I live, but also some old stone walls near where I frequently walk.

I'm across the river from you, and my understanding is that a lot of the incorrect street names on online maps come from data sources with older names. E911 apparently caused a certain amount of upheaval with road names.
Some of the online mapping services seem to have compromised by just listing all possible names for a road, whereas OnX seems to be working off of a different (older?) data set than nearly everyone.

I used to work for a company that did GIS mapping of guard rails, lines, and road signs. Part of what we always ended up doing was massaging the data we received from the Lidar mapping to line things up to exact locations for clients. If this map is accurate, I salute whoever spent the time fixing the details.
