A refinement, perhaps Bradley and others agree with me, perhaps not.
A USFS NF is a "virtual" multipolygon (not one in OSM, we can get to that
later) of three kinds of things:
1) An "outer" (but not the biggest one) which is "the enclosing land which USFS
manages, except for inholdings,

Summit registers are fairly common on the higher peaks in California.

Ray,
As you learned from Spencer Alves, postal codes are not areas. As far as I
know there are no zip code areas in OSM. I would recommend using QGIS and
Postgis to construct your queries using OSM and TIGER zip code boundaries.
Are you looking for any broadband connectivity, just cellular, DSL,

Specifically for Zip codes, the best you could do is query for addr:postcode.

Wow. Bizarre, but good to know. Yes, I _always_ have thought that
zipcodes partition land areas.
Now I have to wonder if ZCTAs are still around and if they are mapped. I
expect not.
much thanx - ray

Hello -
I am interested in where people in the US lack internet connectivity and
I keep thinking that I should be able to use OSM for some part of this.
I am recalling (perhaps not accurately) that connectivity information is
published by the FCC and I think that at least some of the

agreement with Mike and to reiterate a slight disagreement with Bradley (or
maybe to ask Bradley and especially the wider list here for clarification), as

Another feature that is often found at summits around here is a roughly
constructed shelter, such as:

These have been made over the years by various hikers stacking rocks in a
semicircle. One can sit down inside them and obtain some shelter from the

At least in Colorado they are. Nowadays they are often pieces of pvc pipe.

Is summit register something that is often found in USA mountains?
("A summit book or summit register is a record of visitors to the summit
of a mountain. It is usually enclosed in a weatherproof, animalproof metal
canister.")

I have come across this too. The signs are on private property, but face
