Update on Michigan Public Lands

Posted by Skunkman56 on 12 April 2022 in English.

Its been crazy trying to edge match to natural water features, adjacent DNR and USFS properties, so I appreciate any help with the alignment problems after public land boundaries have been imported.

I started on the Cadillac FMU of the Pere Marquette- osm.org/relation/14031776

The Cadillac unit involved lots more crazy edge matching with the Gladwin Unit and Manistee NF units. I also started on the Kirtland’s Warbler Management Area (US Fish & Wildlife Service ownership), osm.org/relation/14032242, mostly nested within the Gladwin Unit and others. The Seney also has been mangled as I worked to resolve countless shared nodes with a road, so it will need a fresh import from the USFWS open data portal (https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/) and a relation created as well for the whitefish point area included in the national wildlife refuge.

Interesting to see someone put in Commercial Forest lands, MDNR property tax program enrollment that enables access for hunting and fishing. I am included to do a mass tagging of those already imported with an owner=private, access=permissive, hunting=yes tags. General access is not allowed, only hunting/fishing/trapping access.

As always, I am documenting status at: osm.wiki/Michigan/Parks
