OpenStreetMap

Something Old, Something New.

Posted by Boondoggle on 12 February 2011 in English.

I've just finished the 1st pass of Wheeler County, and have been somewhat less focused. Do I start on the towns next, or correct/add tracks and other features? Decisions, decisions. I find myself puttering about: A track here; a pond there. I hope I remember correctly where an unlisted graveyard is located. I located it based on a topo map and what I remember of the terrain.

Herein lies the problem: I'm relying on memory for some of these tracks, and I can find traces of them in Bing photomaps. But it's been years since I've been to some of these places. In some cases it's been decades. Are the roads still there beneath the trees, or have they fallen victim to new growth? So I fight temptation and post only what I can see.
