map making notes, news
Mar 1st, 2008 by johnson
the frederick area map is going strong. however: when adding roads, please note their names. ‘line 81′ isn’t too informative. the good news: the frederick map has over 84 notations on it, so its trucking along.
What’s the etiquette for deleting someone’s road? I put a note on two of the Fred. Co. roads that aren’t dirt, but I didn’t want to zap them from the map. One, Fox Tower, is listed on the Fred. Co. inventory, but it has been paved over. The other, Slate Quarry, wasn’t listed on the inventory and it’s an improved road.
Thanks for getting this rolling, it will be a huge resource.
its like a wiki, change it if you know its wrong. i think i added those, from the inventory. so no worries, esp. this time.
Hey, I’m very interested in trying to find dirt roads that has been plotted out so far, how do I access current data on the dirt roads that have been plotted so far? I try to zoom in on the map but I have no idea where to look. Is there an easier way to see the dirt roads when I have zoomed out?
BerylWolf,
When you go to the wiki (first link on the blogroll), and navigate to the dirt roads by state, just select your state, and follow the links to the maps. Once you are there, you should essentially see a bunch of little drawn lines and notes cluttered on a map. Zoom to an area you are interested in, and you should see what you are looking for. Individual lines can be selected, to you can read notes on a given road. If you arnt using firefox as a browswer, download that, I bet it will help. Please leave anouther comment if this doesnt work for you.
