Thanks for the inspiration Simon. I spent some time today in JOSM improving the accuracy of the Choptank. Here's the finished relation: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1344442#map=11/38.7592/-76.0542
Notes 1. Previous editors had created about 10 relations that were adjacent. I removed all of the relations but saved the raw lines and added it to this relation. 2. I removed a lot of lines with jagged boundaries. 3. I used fast-draw at various scales so that the resulting river would look nice and be a close approximation of the river. 4. I also added the Broad River, Harris Creek, and Tred Avon Rivers using the same methods. These tidal rivers are near the mouth of the bay. Next steps (anyone can help) 1. Improve the smaller tributaries. 2. Add the river centerlines for the tributaries if they do not already exist. 3. Add the wetlands. (as you zoom out with the river selected, the "blue" zones seem to be much wider than the actual river in places. Those areas are big swamps.) 4. The rest of the eastern shore :) Best, Elliott On Tue, Jan 17, 2017 at 12:05 AM Bill Ricker <bill.n1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 11:53 PM, Kevin Kenny <kevin.b.kenny+...@gmail.com > > wrote: > > It would strike the locals as very odd if the Jamaica Bay or the Great > South Bay were labeled as "Atlantic Ocean." > > > βIt's certainly wrong above head-tide where river is fresh-water and > non-tidal. > Where navigable brackish and tidal, we'll look at you a little funny for > not knowing the right name * but yeah, it's salty. β > > β*(as with people whose GPS uses some federal formal name no one uses)β > > > -- > Bill Ricker > bill.n1...@gmail.com > https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux > -- Elliott Plack http://elliottplack.me
