Standelf is on the map in my copy as well (1991 Houghton Mifflin single volume). The name itself is printed over the Old Forest with a small arrow pointing to its location in southern Buckland - it's easy to miss.
The name "Standelf" is interesting. At first I was inclined to think that, as Legate of Amon Lanc suggests, the name comes from an Elvish visit to the village. But I think it is actually from O.E. stan, "stone" + delf, "delved" - i.e. it might mean something like "stone-quarry".
