Lower case 'f' appearing on map

When navigating, every once in a while a lower case 'f' appears on the map. Usually in open areas between streets. I have only noticed this in night mode. A couple times I have driven towards the 'f' to see what it could be, and just when I should be aproaching whatever it may be indicating it disappears.

These are the only segments recently edited and they aren't where the 'f' is showing. The City layer shows no out-of-place city name at close zoom levels.

I'm not seeing anything which would be causing that 'f'.

You need a SmudgeHunter badge. :)

No and no way. :) It is a city smudge as already stated.

Sounds like it could be an erroneous city name to me. Can you provide a permalink to the general area?

Obviously, I am a totally green newbie so take anything I say with a ginormous salt lick.

Here's a screen capture. Notice the f in the upper part below the San Antonio.
And again, when I tried to get closer to it, it disappeared.

Editors color scheme on the client shows it as a long north/south smudge. Trying to follow it now...

Edit 1: Northern end was this segment in Forth Worth added in July. Now fixed.

Edit 2: Souther end I can't track down for sure. I lose track of it around Ft Sam Houston and this segment which someone edited just yesterday.

If that second segment was the culprit, the f should go away the next time the city layer is updated.
