Harbours kind of are, if they are natural harbours. Not sure about the others though.

Maine is quite French, but retained the old, English way of spelling harbor, not the British 19th Century, French language -our spellings of ancient Latin -or suffixes.

Amazed by the fact that my hometown of Eden Prairie, MN is on there. I'm assuming the only people to get that right are Minnesotans and those who got lucky.

Should really be clearer on what landforms are. Also, BakersField appears to be a typo.

Gonna be honest here, no local from Flushing refers to Corona Park as "Flushing Meadows". There's "Corona Park" or "Fresh Meadows". Yes "Flushing Meadows" is the official name but no one knows it unless they Google it.

Flushing is a neighborhood in Queens, a constituent part of New York City. It's not a city itself. Flushing Meadows Corona Park is a park between the neighborhoods of Flushing and Corona.

Since it's the name of a specific town, there's a case for only allowing the US spelling as that's what's used in the name. But JetPunk is usually more lenient on spellings - I did try 'harbour' and felt a little hard done by...

I agree with comments that a port is not a land form. If you want a city from Oregon, use Lake Oswego, Troutdale, Klamath Falls, Starvation Heights, Hood River.

There's a named place called Cedar Knolls in New Jersey. Might even be a post office by that name. But that's the only Cedar Knolls I've ever heard of.
