It's worse than you think. I've fixed some, but it's slow going. A good many of those roads are tracks or less, and few are signed. (They do have names, but you have to find them in published sources or ask a local.) Most of the ones that are entirely within the park have been closed to motor vehicles since the 1970s. They're mapped so inaccurately in many cases that the whole data set has a hallucinatory quality to it. There's a New York State data set that's a better source on the names, but I've not been able to secure permission to use it. Its data quality is also pretty poor. The agency that maintains it is chronically underfunded. For all these reasons, I tend to think that repairs aren't adding much value unless they're backed up by literal boots on the ground. I haven't nearly as much time to travel as I'd like.
