12024-10-09 21:16Kai Johnson I feel like this changeset needs a little more explanation than would have fit in the comment. The roads in Mesquite Valley have conflicting names in different sources. Where possible, I tried to reconcile BLM, San Bernardino County road centerline data, and San Bernardino County assessor maps. Unfo...

Hi, did you use a 4x4 to get up Cerro Gordo or manage it with a civilian car? I'm wondering how bad that road is.
22024-08-11 19:44Kai Johnson Judging from the changeset, you're asking about Swansea Grade? If so, I wouldn't try that without a high-clearance 4WD vehicle. The Cerro Gordo Road from Keeler is more civilized. But it's been washed out and rebuilt a couple of times since I last saw it. Used to be a 2WD vehicle coul...

I see. It reminds me of White Mountain Road where it becomes unpaved - possible to drive with a 2WD, but it's terrible. Thank you for the info

22024-07-04 17:48Kai Johnson Hi! This update was a follow up to a project to add missing named summits in Alaska using GNIS data using automation to speed up manual review. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:B1tw153/recoGNISer. But GNIS data isn't always right. In this case, I was able to identify a more likely l...

What does it mean in this context?
22024-04-10 14:34Kai Johnson This changeset was early in the development of the GNIS matching software: https://github.com/b1tw153/recogniser.

The source and gnis:feature_class tags were manually added as we were debugging the software and can be safely removed.

22023-07-13 21:22Kai Johnson Hi,

I'm glad we can have this discussion but let's continue it in direct messages since we're already in touch there. That will give us an opportunity to have a more detailed conversation.

Thanks!
32023-07-13 18:23Kai Johnson Thanks for adding the Wikidata ID and link to the English Wikipedia article!

It may be that the Google translation isn't so good, but I found the English version to be a much better explanation of the feature.

I noticed that the natural=cliff tagging might not be right, but figured that w...
42023-07-13 18:30Kai Johnson It seems possible that way/157329997 and way/625187013 could be merged with the tags transferred.

Since this is a geological feature, aerial imagery might not give us a good representation of the extent of the feature. (Some parts may not be apparent in the imagery, or might be obscured e.g. by s...
52023-07-13 18:34Kai Johnson And of course, the tag for that "cliff" would need to end up in the right place after the merge.

My inclination is to presume that whoever mapped it before got it right.
22023-07-13 16:41Kai Johnson Hi Krako73. Thanks for getting in touch by direct message as well. Let's continue the conversation there where it's easier to have a more detailed discussion.

12022-12-29 20:50Kai Johnson USFS has this road clearly named "Sheephead Mountain Road" to match the local "Sheephead Mountain" peak. The change to "Spearhead Mountain Road" was erroneous and I have reverted it.

Hi there. I do a lot of mapping and hiking around here. I was actually just out there the other day and added some of the trails a few weeks ago. From what I can tell the area for the OHV Area is much to large and doesn't fit reality. At least not in my experience. Really I think it's most...
22022-12-21 13:45Adamant1
♦222
BTW, what I mean by "it's mostly the trails" is that the OHV area is mainly or only the trails on the west side of the dam. There's a staging area right below the powerplant on the west side of the river and that's about it. No one can or does ride their off road vehicles so...
32022-12-21 15:13Kai Johnson Hi Adamant1! The boundary data comes from the BLM GIS hub and specifically from this data set: https://gbp-blm-egis.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/blm-ca-off-highway-vehicle-designations/explore?location=40.719376%2C-122.390878%2C10.99

>OHV driving is permitted only on designated routes within this area. I haven't measured, but BLM says that more than 250 miles of roads and trails in the area are open to OHV use.

52022-12-21 16:18Kai Johnson I don't think that mapping the area as BLM has designated it gives the impression that the entire area is driveable. I do think it's helpful to identify the area for recreation, because that's clearly the land manager's intention. You've suggested deleting the area completel...

<I don't think that mapping the area as BLM has designated it gives the impression that the entire area is driveable.

Cool. I didn't say anything about drivability. What I did say is that most of it isn't owned or operated by the BLM when that's how you mapped it. What part...

BTW, just to clarify something the Chappie Shasta Off-Highway Vehcile Guide shows what type of vehicles can drive on the roads. That's obviously different then who can access them. Just because a car can drive down a private asphalt road doesn't mean everyone with a car can drive down it, ...
82022-12-21 18:44Kai Johnson It doesn't sound like we're going to come to an agreement about mapping the OHV area, since I think it should stay on the map as is.

But I hope we're both in agreement that the roads and trails in the area should be mapped with appropriate access conditions.

I'll probably re-map it at some point after the roads are done being mapped, but as a small area that actually represents reality.

Not to beat a dead horse, but on the northern east end of the area there's a power plant slightly south of the dam. The road is inside the area you mapped. Although it's fenced and gated off INRL. Which can partly be seen on the map. The idea that people can drive their dirt bikes to the p...
122022-12-22 15:11Kai Johnson I think you've misunderstood. The only access conditions that apply in this area are the ones tagged on the highways themselves.

I'm optimistic that there will be a broader discussion among members of the OHV community about how to map areas like this, so we may have some broader commun...
132022-12-22 15:31Kai Johnson Also, for what it's worth, I got a reply from Ranger Swartlander at the Redding BLM field office about the designated roads and trails on the OHV map that cross private land. BLM does indeed manage those roads and trails and they are open to public access. However, access to the private land of...

Hey there thanks for this contribution however there was already a node for this feature when you added the line (10017047729), and it seems like a node (coordinates sourced from USGS) may be more appropriate than a line (topo maps suggest the basin is not linear, and doesn't really extend nort...
22022-09-28 03:13Kai Johnson Thanks for catching the duplicate node. Sorry I missed that. The line was an attempt to reflect the broader area of the basin, but a node is fine.

Hello! Please have a look on http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/369172293. What is the meaning of the tag mrds:id = W024802? Is this a reference value? Did you mean ref:mrdata?
22022-05-22 14:34Kai Johnson Hi! The original data for the node was apparently from USGS GNIS. When.

The prefix ref: clearly states that the value is a unique key from a source. Additionally, if this is only used in one country, then deep:<country code>: would be recommended. So here ref:US: would be the descriptive prefix.
42022-05-23 14:57Kai Johnson That makes sense. Thanks!
