(1) not all sensitive areas are remote, and many issues arise in reserves close to major cities. (2). Understanding the broader context surrounding a potential mapping change may well be a hallmark of good mapping, but mappers bear no responsibility to await a decision from a management agency *before* they add or edit tracks.</span></span></span><br></p><p class=""><span style="text-size-adjust: none;"><span class="font" style="font-family:UICTFontTextStyleTallBody"><span class="size" style="font-size:19px"></span></span></span><br></p><p class=""><span class="font" style="font-family:UICTFontTextStyleTallBody"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:19px">A likely response from an under-staffed government agency to an unknown mapper is something like, “Thank you for your message.
