truly. i've spent a lot of time immersed in Antietam and the Maryland
Campaign of 1862 and would love to figure out a way to convey some
of that.

So, Steve - when you made your initial query, did you have something
in mind?
There are scads of sites scattered throughout the Mid-Atlantic area
and, as you can see, a number of us with both interest and experience
with mapping historical sites. If we can bring our resources to bear
(I'm thinking MappingDC...) I think it could be a really awesome project.
Cheers,

historical mapping can be hard. i have the resources to do a bunch
of it for
the Civil War, but the tagging system doesn't support a lot of the
data and
it would just make a mess of the map, i think, right now.
but there are cases where we could tag historic road names where
they differ
in a significant way from current names without too much trouble.
this wouldn't
add clutter.

FWIW, when we mapped at Manassas, we mapped what's on the ground
now. Not to say there couldn't be other approaches, but we didn't
really have a plan in hand to do historical mapping.

definitely. i've done some mapping of the Antietam
Battlefield Park,
and would love to do more.
how do you (SteveC) envision this? there are numerous things
that can be
mapped, but some would seem pretty unreasonable to attempt in OSM
as it is now (e.g., showing all the unit locations during the
day at Antietam
as they appear on the 1908 Cope maps).

I would definitely be interested. We had a mapping party at
Manassas Battlefield last June, but there are so many other
battlefields within an easy drive of WashDC that need
greater visibility on the map. And now that the weather is
moderating, it would be a great time to do some historical
mapping.

Hi
Anyone interested in mapping civil war sites, maybe with
a mapping party? I mention because the anniversaries are
all coming up.
