The Port Rowan Conspiracy

The village/town of Port Rowan does not appear on either Mapquest or Google Maps!

It's not a big place, but I've been there. There's a bank! There's a marina! It has a webpage!

I must return, to document it's existence. Who's with me?

EDIT: I was able to find it by following the road I know it's on, anyway. But it's curious that it has no actual label on Google Maps. Much smaller communities are on there.

It not being listed might have to do with search relevance. More people look for those smaller places than Port Rowan, via google.

I can find it by entering it in the search bar (which takes you to a generic placemarker for Norfolk) but then I can definitely see the label for Port Rowan when zoomed either to the 1km or 500m scale.

the obvious reason it's not publically available.

Don't worry, GoogleMaps agents have already been dispatched.
