This change, initiated by the Trump administration, aims to honor American greatness and has also included the restoration of the name Mount McKinley for Denali, a decision met with mixed reactions from various stakeholders including climbers and local residents. While some celebrate the rebranding, others express concerns about historical accuracy and international recognition. Critics question the practicality and legitimacy of such a sweeping name change, with some political figures and international leaders indicating they will continue to refer to the area as the Gulf of Mexico. Amidst this controversy, mapmakers and local communities are left to navigate the implications of the new designations.
