So I took a nice loop trip through the Sierra Madres (in Wyoming not Mexico) and was putting my data into my .list file when I noticed that the eastern half of WY 70 in Wyoming uses the designation "Battle" to distinguish it from the western half. However, I saw no evidence of a place called Battle, and only found out it was a place when I looked it up on Wikipedia when I got back. Therefore, I am proposing this route should change to either WY 70 (Battle Pass) or WY 70 (Encampment), whichever seems better.
As this segment is the "mainline", there would be neither alt route names nor updates to list files necessary.

I'd probably vote for Encampment, as it's really the only town on that stretch. I don't think we normally use physical features as the designation, do we?

^ The eastern segment of Yukon route 6 is named "Macmillan Pass", for its major geographic feature. That highway has no permanent residents, though it serves a few summer homes, some mines, and hunters and hikers in the eastern Yukon and a very remote part of the Northwest Territories.
"Battle Pass" is OK with me, though it seems harder to find on a map than Encampment.

On that stretch there's no towns though, so Encampment probably makes more sense since it's an actual town.
