[Tagging] Flat area in the mountains

[stevea]

I agree on place=locality being a right-on-the-bullseye correct tag in a lot of cases here, Brad.  Thumbs up!

There are vague-ish areas / zones / regions in Central California where mountains blend into flatter areas and there is some interesting naming around there.  Sometimes it is a mountainous area and so named / tagged, sometimes it is more plateau / flat / flats.  Rocky outcrops.  Valley and hollow.  Depends on where it's dialed up and where it's dialed down.

Careful, now we might have to have the whole meadow conversation again; never mind.

Yes, as I think about it this might have to do with scale or so, like at zooms 6,7,8 show mountain ranges and valleys.

Yeah, if a High Plains has a 40% escarpment, I might want to up my shading a little higher to know where!

These can get more-macro (like Santa Cruz Mountains, "not short") and more micro (too many examples of "that bump of rocks over there").  Lots of variation in tagging, naming, where the dials are set for what might be shown or hidden.

We DO use more topographic terms like "flat" and "mountains" though even that gets fuzzy quick.  OK, done now.
