In my region the yahoo images are bad, too. You can't see borders of villages or streets. I had use my bike, car and my gps receiver.

The usual way would be to use a GPS enabled device (like e.g. a modern smartphone or a gps waylogger) to record GPS tracks while walking or driving along roads and then to draw over the tracks. As there are some streets mapped in Chilecito already, you could also interpolate (= guess) things that are not yet mapped in relation to those that are. Third possibility would be to ask your city government if they can release any map data they have for adding it to osm.

@lyx you can get some non-smart phones that have GPS built in and use a j2me app to record your track, or instead of a fully fledged GPS device you can get cheaper USB/bluetooth devices that can talk to laptops/netbooks or phones that can handle the GPS information and record it.

I use openGpsTracker. This is a native android app.

@Sanderd17 OpenGPSTracker uses google maps tiles for its line display. That's too close to tracing from a proprietary source for me :(
@JeF Currently I use a combination of "GPS Logger" http://gpslogger.codeplex.com/ and "OSM Tracker for Android™" http://code.google.com/p/osmtracker-android/ to collect tracker data in GPX format for loading into JOSM (see the OSM wiki...). The situation hasn't changed much for me since I wrote http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2010-March/048790.html , although osmtracker-android now uses OSM layers for its background (when networked!)
