Hi,
I am new to this and the area where I live is very well mapped (probably
due to high density of tech workers). Where do I go to start mapping
areas that are less well mapped (me aimlessly poking at this does not
sound like a good approach)?
The entire state of West Virginia -- no exaggeration. The original data
imported from TIGER is badly misaligned throughout this state and rarely
resembles the road network at all. Making matters worse, many public
roads wind through hollows that even in the best aerial imagery are
obscured by the surrounding mountains' shadows. Fortunately, newer TIGER
data (available as an overlay in iD) is very good and makes it possible
to clean up the mess.
While you're there, West Virginia's hilltop mining roads and power lines
are much easier to trace from aerial imagery. I personally find mapping
these features to be a good break from the stress of untangling TIGER roads.
