Possible wrong coordinates?

[edit]

The Coordinates given for this lake 44°03′14″N 115°04′08″W are exactly the same as those given for Oreamnus Lake.

Looking at the gnis database the coordinates given for this lake (Meadow Lake) are slightly different at 44°3'22.66"N, 115°3'24.31"W which is about 1.3 km NNE or Oreamnus Lake. Neither the map in the gnis database or Google maps show a lake at this position although there does appear to be a cirque there that could hold a snow lake?

Is this a case of 2 names for the same lake (not uncommon) or are there really 2 lakes? I have no access to US maps other that the online ones mentioned above so I would welcome help from experts in the field or people who have actually visited the area to resolve this.

U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Meadow Lake (Idaho) This is Oreamnus lake in the GNIS database! (I think the {gnis} logic takes the name of the article not the name in gnis?)
