[Talk-us] National Forests and Private Ownership

[Mike Thompson]

Not all of the land within US National Forests is owned by the US
Government, there are private "inholdings" [1].

The boundaries between government land and private land are often marked by
signs, e.g.[2]  The above photo is geotagged, and if you drag it into JOSM
you can see that it is quite far from the overall National Forest boundary
as currently depicted in OSM[3].

The wiki mentions "inholdings", but it is not clear how these should be
mapped[4].

How should these be mapped?
access=private/permissive?
ownership=private?
