Harris Park and areas along the way

Posted by russdeffner on 23 November 2010 in English.

I was hoping to do nearly all TIGER road corrections 'armchair' style around Bailey Colorado, since I know the area very well; followed up by ground truth-ing some street names and eventually gathering address data. However, the TIGER data for Harris Park and the areas along the way have some major anomalies. It’s going to take a lot more verification than I was hoping for to get the roads fixed. Possibly going to take some four wheeling; plus there are a ton of hiking trails, etc up that way so don’t expect that area to be complete for quite some time.

Idaho Springs Mapping

A while back found the meetup.com group OSM-Colorado.
A few weeks before that I had learned that pretty much all of Park County Colorado was way messed up on OSM. I decided to join the group.

We met up in Idaho Springs Colorado and about a dozen of us split into teams of one or two people and mapped the entire town in just about 2 hours.

The next week we met at MapQuest HQ in Denver and started putting our edits into OSM.

This is how I met Hurricane and Steve... Great people!
