I'm nearly finished with the first pass over Telfair County, Georgia. I've noted most of the county roads, tweaked a few here and there.

It's not a completed effort by any means. I only aligned a few roads to Bing. There's more to be traced, more features to add. That's just out in the county. With a few exceptions, I've yet to tackle roads in incorporated areas. On the bright side, there shouldn't be as much confusion.

For example, there's a road closed to public access, most likely due to an unsafe bridge. However, it turns out the state still considers it a county road. Then there's the unnamed roads with stop signs, a good indication that they're county maintained, but they have neither name nor county road number.

I also have a suspicion that our urban brethren would consider many "service" roads as tracks. My rule of thumb is that if you can get a car down it with ease, then it's a service road. But what we consider "with ease" might be considered barely more than a trail by others. Will have to revisit these when it comes to aligning them with Bing aerial maps.

But, that's one county with almost all the road names noted. I hope to tackle one or two more before I start on the second pass.
