Hi Mike,
I’m just going to through my hat in here, nothing concrete, just suggestions. I
am sure you probably know this, but maybe others on the list do not – if you’ve
seen/heard of the cartoon “South Park” – it’s actually named after one of those
geographic features described in that secon

A subset of the the US Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) data was
imported into OSM [2]. I have discovered a systematic error in the GNIS. In
the US there are at least two different meanings for the word "park" when
it comes to things we might map in OSM. The first is a recreational
