I think you have to accept there are some limitations on satellite mapping and make a best guess or judgement call. If I can wade across it in the dry season and it comes up to my chin is it a ford?
Mapping in the UK is different, more mappers on the ground for a start. A lot of African mapping is done for HOT and the aid agencies and often the alternative is nothing at all. There just isn't enough people on the ground with good internet connections and a knowledge of mapping to do the job and I'd prefer not to get into a discussion on how OSM should only be done by people on the ground.
