Hello,

Regarding the removal of caves and other features, you might want to look at my Computers in Libraries article titled "How Homeland Security Affects Spatial Information." I did discuss the removal of military bases (although they are shown in pink on the Federal Lands maps and GIS data sets) and caves from GNIS. (http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/apr04/zellmer.shtml). There are some ruins that are still in the database, when you search for the word ruin in the place name. However the feature type ruin has been removed.
