But the Forest Service itself is showing the outer boundary on it's websites, as I've mentioned above. On the higher resolution web map, there is only a faint difference in lighter green / darker green color to show which land within the official boundary is privately or federally owned, and this

First, I'd like to point out that this discussion started off with the question of removing "access=private" from Amazon-logistics-mapped driveways. I still maintain that the mechanical edit would be a good thing, because the tagging as added is based on an assumption that service=driveway implies

I agree on the tagging points, my comment on mapmakers was a response to the claim that maps show the world as it is. By definition, maps are only symbols. Those symbols can get extremely complex but they remain an approximation of the real world. OSM should always strive to reflect what is
