I have to ask how hard did you really search for Bender's Corner?  OSM is not a respresentation of a legal subdivisions, acessor parcel numbers and the like.  However, having a way for a person to search for Bender's Corner; use OSM to find it on the map; and perhaps route to the area would be a useful feature!   Now OSM is the only map where you cannot locate Bender's Corner.  It looks like it might be a nice area.
