How fast could a group of 5 people that want to remove all nodes in the area need to do so? Are they all listed on a map with their location?

Mine is on a map, but in a radius of around 10 miles. Close enough to let people know I'm here, but not accurate enough to easily track me down.

That said, if someone wanted to hunt me down, they certainly could triangulate me pretty quickly.

Yeah all they would need is a small RTLSDR and they make them directional for police and such. Its how they get people interfering with police/fire/etc..etc... on different channels. At 1W or lower its going to be a bit hard to find, but anyone determined would be able to triangulate pretty quick.
