OpenStreetMap
Riverbanks have been added to the Platte River all the way from North Platte, Nebraska to the Missouri River. From North Platte, the South Platte has banks to Chatfield Dam south of Denver, and the North Platte through Wyoming and into Colorado.
There is still some mapping remaining to do; tributaries can be added, nearby roads detailed, etc. Also there is some inconsistent tagging that probably should be edited (e.g. line->water in some cases instead of area->riverbank). And some of the past mapping could not have foreseen the recent flooding that has altered islands and shorelines.
But, overall, the Platte River mapping has helped improve the map in Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado.

Thanks David! As always, impressive work - looks like you actually did not map every day in 2015, hope that was for vacation :)
Also, look for a geobeers/mappy hour at Caution West as soon as the weather gets a bit more predictable.

Please don’t confuse newbies! area=riverbank should not exist: Try waterway=riverbank

Russ, It seems warm enough today for a geobeer or two; and, as you’re aware, weather in Colorado is seldom predictable.
Of course you’re correct, dcp. I was referring to area in the geometric sense and the drawing selection in ID, not the specific tag.
