Re: [Talk-us] National Forest boundaries (Mike Thompson)

Steve, Perhaps I am not understanding what you are saying, but: 1) Not all "inholdings" are completely surrounded by the National Forest, they are "bites" off the edge in some cases. I don't think one can have an inner ring and an outer ring which are at all coincident (they can't share an edge)

Re: [Talk-us] National Forest boundaries (Mike Thompson)

Continuing from my previous post, we even have an especially data-compact (efficient) way of representing that: the member of the forest relation which is an inholding (tagged with role inner) IS the polygon of, say, a private residence "inside of" the forest. For example (I'm making this up),

Re: [Talk-us] National Forest boundaries

*Sorry, forgot to send this to the mailing list...* Thanks for the input. However, doesn't that violate "one feature, one OSM element" ? I believe we should stick with the inholding method, because separating national forests into

Be cautious using TIGER data in rural areas. I suspect many of the small counties don't have the resources to send updates to Census. I'd recommend looking at county and state data sources for accurate road names. Best, Clifford On Sun, Jun 21, 2020 at 6:29 AM wrote: > > Newby here. > > Started

[Talk-us] Labeling county roads (Idaho)

Newby here. Started mapping an area of the Idaho panhandle around the Kootenai river. I notice that currently minor roads have a "County Road nn" name but TIGER2019 data also has names such as "Acacia Avenue". I think most map users would want to use the "Acacia Avenue" name as it what would be l
