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.
