Phantom Settlement
Phantom settlements, or paper towns, are settlements that appear on maps but do not actually exist. They are either accidents or copyright traps. Notable examples in the English-speaking world include Argleton, Lancashire in England, and Beatosu and Goblu, Ohio in the United States. Phantom settlements often result from copyright traps, also known as mountweazels, which is when a false entry is placed in literature to catch illegal copiers. Agloe, New York, was invented on a 1930s map as a copyright trap. In 1950, a general store was built there and named Agloe General Store, as that was the name seen on the map. Thus, the phantom settlement became a real one. There are also misnamed settlements, such as the villages of Mawdesky and Dummy 1325 in Lancashire on Google Maps. There is a satirical conspiracy theory that the German city of Bielefeld is a phantom settlement, despite its population of over 300,000. Another example is Leiria, Portugal, (pop. 128,640), which even g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
