Mens i USA er det konsekvent at apostrof ikke skal brukes:

Genitive apostrophes
Apostrophes suggesting possession or association are discouraged within
the body of a proper geographic name (Henrys Fork: not Henry’s Fork).
The word or words that form a geographic name change their connotative
function and together become a single denotative unit. They change from
words having specific dictionary meaning to fixed labels used to refer
to geographic entities. The need to imply possession or association no
longer exists. Thus, we write “Jamestown” instead of “James’town” or
even “Richardsons Creek” instead of “Richard’s son’s creek.” The whole
name can be made possessive or associative with an apostrophe at the end
as in “Rogers Point’s rocky shore.” Apostrophes may be used within the
body of a geographic name to denote a missing letter (Lake O’ the Woods)
or when they normally exist in a surname used as part of a geographic
name (O’Malley Draw).

Uansett, for å komme tilbake til saken er det kommunen som har øverste
bestemmelsesrett for lokale vei- og gatenavn, så man bør sjekke der
istedet for statlige arkiver. Så får man evt ignorere hva Vegvesenet
gjør på sine gateskilt.
