An early happy new year to everyone!

I’m not even 6 months into mapping and I’ve already finished 7 municipalities of Bergen County. This year was great, and I plan to continue with contributing next year.

I’ve just finished Maywood after a time period of slightly over 2 weeks. Next should come Rochelle Park, and after that I might start Woodcliff Lake.

I noticed that there is a lot of industrial land in Maywood’s western portions, and that the are south of Central Avenue is very dense. Meanwhile, the northern area seems to be less dense and the eastern area is almost entirely residential. I’d say the west and south areas are like Hackensack, while the others are a bit more like the less populated places in the area.

Additionally, mapping Memorial Park made me realize how large the park actually is, and the park seems to have a lot. It shares the Memorial name with the nearby Memorial Elementary School, one of two schools in Maywood along with the one on Maywood Avenue.

Also, I’ve made it to over 750 changesets this year, and lots of map changes! I’ll almost certainly reach 800 while mapping Rochelle Park.
