Buckeye Trail maps aren't just that, it's a combination document with a guide, too. There was trouble recently with a hiker using just the map for the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. And I'm sure somebody told them that they could get away with using that. But every once in a while, the guide has to clairify the trail's route in ways that the map can't display when it can't have blazes as per regulation. I apologize for being vague, but it has it's moments.
On the Buckeye Trail, blazes are forbidden on the Little Miami State Scenic Trail, as well as parts of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, one of the smaller off-road segments that are S of the City of Defiance and perhaps a few more areas. If blazes are found on one of these, it could be because the property is owned by another agency (like a land conservancy)? Or they were left over from when Buckeye was permitted to pass through there, but something like a towpath wasn't formally build there yet. For instance, the Buckeye Trail was permitted to pass on the land where the Little Miami State Scenic Trail is today before the paved multi-use trail was built there.
