Dixie County almost complete

Posted by NitaRae on 11 October 2012 in English.

Mostly finished with Dixie County as far as converting the logging roads from ‘residential’ to ‘track’ (there were hundreds). I have also added as many of the abandoned rail beds as I could locate via the satellite images, in conjunction with common sense as to where logging occurred (1909-1930s from best information). Some of those old railroad beds have now become the major access roads to the southern parts of Dixie County, along the Gulf coast. Still need to do a few areas in north central. Also remaining to be done is to assign 911 street names to all those roads back in the woods.

Nice work. I live in North Dakota and we have a big problem with the tiger residential->track issue here as well. I have done a bit of cleanup in the immediate area but there is still a lot more to be done. Little bit by little bit though it is all getting reworked. Hopefully in the next couple years we will have complete road classification done.
