Was that using Radar? Did you try using the "Report an Issue" UI within the Maps app itself?
I've given up filing map bug reports for reservations. There's simply too many. It would be a full-time job for ten people to list all of the missing/wrong places in both Apple and Google maps. There are vast areas of the United States where paper maps are still far better. Indian reservations are among those.
Part of it is the fault of history. Many places on reservations don't have street addresses, or sometimes even streets. But that doesn't mean they aren't places of commerce, community, or otherwise vital to the lives of thousands of people.
Other times, though, there are towns and businesses on main or even state highways that don't exist on Google or Apple Maps at all.
I think a big part of the problem is that Google and Apple rely too heavily on social media and review sites for their geographic information. Those don't help when you're mapping an area with limited internet connectivity and zero cell service.
I'd quit my job to work for Apple mapping the chapter houses, trading posts, and other places on America's reservations. One person could only make a small dent, but every drop helps.
I guess city is a bit grand, but there are towns with actual zip codes on reservations.

The whole 911 thing started forcing road names and addresses. The bigger problem is that what we have for an address (as told to us by one of the utility companies) is different than whatever source Apple is using. Strangely, Google figured out quite a bit more of it.
Not a city. He notes this is on a reservation.
