Something Weird Online

So I am looking online at google maps to see the area around Harper's Ferry WV. Well this town sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenendoah Rivers. But there is no Shenendoah. So I reload the map and see that it is still not there: Google Maps and go check Virtual Earth: Virtual Earth and it is not on that map either! What gives? Did the river change course? Why would both have the same inaccurate data? The Shenendoah is nearly as wide as the Potomac at that spot. Strange...

They both used the same data source. :D In both maps I can see the Shenendoah further upstream. With Virtual Earth it "started" closer to where it should have been than Google. Of course it is there on the satellite maps so let's hope that it is just a data error and the aliens didn't really take it! :o
