Pioneers need a new Death Place name

Some 70,000 people made the trek across the Great Plans to Zion between 1846 to 1869, when the First transcontinental railroad was completed, and sporadically until the 20th century.

Many died in unnamed places along the way.  Some had their death recorded in a journal entry "on the Plains in Wyoming".

The Death Place Names drop-down menu has "At Sea", so is it possible to add "On the Plains" with additional location info after a comma, i.e.; On the Plains, in Wyoming Territory.

You could just say Wyoming and then describe in the text what you know.  You also dn't have to limit yourself to the drop down selection so if you want to add "on the plains" you could.

But that will throw up a Suggestion if not officially approved.
I meant you "could" do it, not that you "should" do it.  The first part of my suggestion is what I recommend.  Also, suggestions are just that, suggestions.  Sometimes they don't reflect the truth.
Suggestions that are not reflective of the facts can be marked as false.
