Glacial Lake Maumee covered SE Michigan and parts of Ontario and Ohio about 14,000 years ago, as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Maumee#/media/File:Glacial_lakes.jpg . I'm concerned that the modern map of Michigan and surrounding areas in this article has a dot in Lake Erie that is labeled "Lake Maumee." As a geologist with many years of teaching experience, I think it is likely that someone might confuse Lake Erie with Glacial Lake Maumee.

Here are several alternatives:
- Keep the modern map and draw a circle to show the general area of "Lake Maumee," and add a note referring to the Lake Maumee map in the cluster of four maps.
- Move the red dot to a location in Michigan or Ohio that was covered by "Lake Maumee."
- Remove the modern map.

In my opinion, this is confusing misinformation and no information is better than misinformation.
