How to tag BLM boundaries?
Based on my reading of the osm guidelines, this is what I’ve come up with
type = boundary
boundary= protected_area
operator = BLM
ownership = national
name = * Field Office [example Moab Field Office]
The only BLM boundaries that I’ve found are in Montana (6 yrs ago), tagged with
boundary= protected_area
name= BLM
operator= US Bureau of Land Management
ownership = national
protect_class = 27
sometimes type=multipolygon
and I’ve found some USFS boundaries with only these tags:
“attribution”=“US Forest Service”
“boundary”=“protected_area”
“operator”=“United States Forest Service”
My rationale for something a little different than the montana tags are:
The field office is in the shapefile attributes and it is valuable info so I think we should keep it. The most relevant tag seems to be name.
For the operator, US is redundant since it’s national, and BLM is a well known acronym.
protect_class is cryptic, and doesn’t seem important
What do you think?
