What's a little odd about this particular mistake is how long it's been around. But, in actuality, Silverthorn is a neighbourhood located north of what is now referred to as the Junction Triangle (which is also not quite properly placed on the map above). Many who followed the Fuzzy Boundaries naming project last year noticed that what was then supposed to be a nameless neighbourhood had, in fact, already been given the designation "Silverthorn" by Google. While most of these have been cleaned up, at least one example of the last error still exists today. But, interestingly, hardly any that had yet to be corrected.Ī few of these former errors included misplacement of subway stations (Downsview was apparently once placed in the TTC yards immediately north of Wilson Station), numerous misnamed streets and landmarks, and the incorrect labeling of certain neighbourhoods. ![]() And, as some commenters had predicted, I actually found quite a few.
