Lake America’s 107-cell name-change tracker
A daily public-record tracker measuring how the claimed renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America is propagating through U.S., Canadian, state, maritime, and binational sources.
Field notes
The tracker divides its corpus into 107 cells and labels each result by observed naming state, including flipped, unchanged, absent, or fetch failed. Its jurisdictional breakdown separates federal records from Canadian and New York usage, while the displayed snapshot reports 36 Code of Federal Regulations sections, 9 U.S. Code sections, and 50 NOAA chart titles still under observation. The page also notes that GNIS retains “Lake Ontario” as a variant name.
