It sounds like "Sled Harbor" is a trailhead, a place where you leave a
vehicle to start hiking on a footpath, or where you are picked up in a
vehicle after your hike, correct?
A few months ago we discussed the tag highway=trailhead - used over
1500 times: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3A
We recently discussed place=locality, and I now believe this tag
should be avoided, and perhaps deprecated.
To summarize, most of these features were added in North America from

The main changes are:

- warning against creating giant multipolygons by mapping the whole

Those are good points. I’ve created stub wiki pages for Key:abandoned:place

Currently place=locality is main in the database from imports, and it
is also used as a way to tag a feature which is not currently rendered
by most map renders so that the name will show.

These are narrow linear features. It’s unreasonable and less helpful to map
these as polygons when a simple linear way will do, so it’s good to have a
way to show the difference.
And there is also a big functional

I agree! Those definitions are a pretty good start.

This idea of a wood or forest as a whole region, rather than the area that
