Using Google Maps you can collaborate on a map and add in details not on the original Google Map. We did this on another message board I'm on for a fishing Lake in NY by naming bays, islands etc. Many of these locations are now identified on the main Google map. It seems Google will pull data from these "personal" maps for use in the main map. That may be the best way to go.
I registered a domain that redirects to our "personal" map if you want to take a look:

We set up an embedded link to our own personal Google Map nearly a year ago. It is located at the bottom of the Hotels listing. It was so out of date and in many cases wrong (Charela Inn was half way to Sav) that we didnt announce it. But it is there and would need massive updating.Originally Posted by Kevin, PA
One of the reasons we did not pursue it further is that we saw the Google street level trucks in Negril doing their 360 degrees video and figured they would be updating their map of Negril to make it more accurate. But we have not seen any progress so far with regard to the Street View feature.
We could make this a fun joint effort to list all the properties shown on the map, but Google could revise it at anytime with their Street View.

Huh! We've just been trying to find a relatively up-to-date beach/town/cliffs map! Totally awesome idea! Definitely down to work on that project! What fun that will be! Tell me what to do. Have camera will photograph!
In the meantime, Wikimapia has a not so bad interactive one. It's kind of up-to-date.
