Hey there, jumping in a little late here but thought I should say that I agree that the boundaries should follow the real property. I have been giving their data the benefit of the doubt and tracing it as is since I can't necessarily say that I know better. Also, USFS has been known in the past to have surveyed things incorrectly to the point of private parties instigating litigation, and these gis boundaries seem to conflict with public land boundaries of just about every other state and federal agency; however, you would think the ranger stations, of all places, would be correct, so I'm not sure.

As far as those weird almost line-like polygons are concerned, those were that way in the boundary data. I have been wondering if things like those are artifacts, maybe from when they merged their detailed surface ownership parcel polygons into the simplified ownership boundaries that we use (assuming that was their process, anyway). I feel like I would need to contact them to make that call myself, but I'm open to making changes.
