I think more than that the surveyable / on-the-ground criteria is extended
to things that can be surveyed by asking a local or a few locals and
getting reasonably consistent answers, even when not signposted in the
usual way.  This is sometimes not consistent with the "official" answers.
 This could be the case with cycling routes but also even place names and
borders.

(Not a US mapper either except when staying in the US)
