Thank you Bradley, Mike and brad for the fascinating insights, clarifications 
and continuing discussion.  I did not realize that this sort of boundary / 
ownership / administration / distinctions with private inholdings was anywhere 
near this complex:  that "Congressional Boundary" thing I find quite a curve 
ball.  I think OSM can accommodate both "kinds" of boundaries, but I'm not 
presently sure how best to do so.  I am glad to learn of the distinctions.

And of course, when we talk about public "land owned by the USFS," what we 
really mean is "land owned by the People, and managed for us properly, under 
law, BY our federal employees, the USFS."

I retreat to more of a "watching mode" to see if more discussion shakes out of 
this.  Again, it is fascinating.
