Deleting non existant lake

0

There is a lake reference from http://nhd.usgs.gov/ but in reality there is a supermarket there. No lake. Should it be deleted?

Hi There, If this is the lake you refer to :- https://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.066138&lon=-80.934555&zoom=18&layers=M then the Bing image of 2010/2011 says to me the lakes are no longer in existance. If you have first hand knowledge/observation to support this then delete them. Map the supermarket buildings in their place.

If you don't feel confident I could do it for you.

Regards Bernard
