Sir if you could just look right here

Real answer is it probably derives from USGS language

Populated Place

Place or area with clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent human population (city, settlement, town, village).

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
