Thank you for the info! I checked the changes I’ve made so far against the GCGN to make sure it’s correct.
I planned to use the maps not to copy the information directly from them, but use them as a source to find for example unmapped rivers or settlements. I will check the names for those features in the GCGN from now on.
I understand the map is 40 years old and many of the things can be outdated, that’s why I check with Google Earth/Satellite Imagery/and now GCGN before adding anything.

First, have you studied the license of these maps?
Secondly, these maps are outdated. There is an up-to-date official source for geographical names. Only, please, without automatic import.
