Re: [Talk-us] Trouble with getting Superior National Forest

I'm with Kevin, SteveA, etc,  here.   In the part of the world that I live, a map without national forest & BLM boundaries is very incomplete.   A useful OSM needs this.   The useful boundary would be the actual ownership boundary, not the outer potential ownership boundary.   Messy, I know.
