It could be the latest rage in annoying Google. Spoofing their much ballyhoo'd google maps.
Recently a phantom city of Argleton in the UK has manifest on Google Maps only to not really exist if you try to visit it. While speculators think it could be a mistaken spelling of an actual nearby town Aughton, some think it could be Google itself attempting to catch copyright cheats stealing their map information. After all this tactic has been performed by actual map companies for eons.
In efforts to understand the mystery The Telegraph speculates Argleton is an anagram for both "Not Real G" and "Not Large".
Want to goto Argleton? You'll find empty landscape, but at least you'll see something. Try googling Area 51 and it's blanked out.
Maine has it's own phantom town of Suckerville with very few inhabitants of the area it's placed at knowing of this bad information.
Now if Google Maps can provide fictional places, why not show us where Lake Wobegon is? Or Metropolis or I'm sure you've searched "The middle of nowhere".
