It's too bad there isn't a good way to crowd-source this data and get it back upstream to official maps.

I took a drive on what started as a very nice, scenic forest service road in Colorado and ended up in the back of an active cinder mine. We got through the mine ok, but never would have been able to make it back up the mountain the way we came down. I spent the whole time worrying we were going to get stuck behind a locked fence until the workers came back Monday morning.

It won't magically take care of upstreaming the data, but you could mark it on OpenStreetMap. access=private in the mine at least.
