[Talk-us] National Forests and Private Ownership

[Bradley White]

No, this is incorrect. USFS administrative boundaries and USFS managed
land are not the same thing, though the latter is always inside the
former. The boundaries currently in OSM are administrative boundaries,
and are tagged correctly as such. It is perfectly fine to have private
land within a USFS administrative boundary, in the same way it would
be okay to have private land within any other government-defined
jurisdictional boundary.
