I'm doing a bit of mapping in Willits, CA - and a quick search of

According to JOSM, it is a member of a larger membership - but I'm not
sure how to use JOSM to find the other group members on the map - to
try and guess what's going on. I'm assuming this particular element is
some sort of mistake - but if anybody can take a look and clear things
up a bit - it would help. I know GNIS imports contain some bad data -
but maybe someone could guess what it was all supposed to look like -
or why is this polygon where it is.
oh yes, and if you zoom out you'll find Willits proper to the northwest
of the polygon
you found.
in JOSM, you can bring up the relation editor on the border polygon, and
you'll see 3 incomplete members as well as the polygon you found. there
is a download button for all members on the left edge of the relation
editor.
Thanks all. Is it possibly to make it so that a search in OSM for
Willits, CA brings up the whole relationship - as opposed to several
separate elements, which when clicked send you to some spot in the
middle of nowhere? If all of them are part of the same relationship -
shouldn't the relationship be named "Willits" - and shouldn't it be the
only one coming up in the search? I'm asking because I'm not sure how
these things work.
