Key takeaway The smallest of the Great Lakes is now identified differently for users in the United States.
A change has been made to the name of a Great Lake on a popular mapping site. The smallest of the Great Lakes is now identified differently for users in the United States. This alteration follows an executive order issued last week.
The name change is reflected in official government sources. As a result, the mapping site updates its information to match these sources. Users outside of the US and Canada will see a different name for the lake.
Further details about this change are available from the mapping site and other sources, including the reason behind the executive order and its potential impact.
