There is however still a lot of strange stuff with the mapping of the various lagoons and inlets along the gulf coast - the US community should have a more thorough look there and make some decisions about sensible divisions between the different waterbodies. And when you implement that be careful with the coastline please. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

[Talk-us] New York, Ellis Island Boundary
Hi, puzzled about http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/37573502#map=18/40.69986/-74.03910 is this really part of today's political boundary, then "(historical)" should perhaps be removed from the name. And is there any significance to the funny shape (an owl sitting on a branch?) or should it rather be aligned with the coastline?
