As Andrew pointed out the needed thing to map the area remotely would be better satellite imagery. Once that is obtained the areas could be mapped in detail in just a couple of days. </div><div><br></div><div>Dale</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 12:31 PM, Andrew Buck <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew.r.buck@gmail.com" target="_blank">andrew.r.buck@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">The towns don't look that big so mapping them would be quite easy to do,<br>

imagery where the license allows us to use it for tracing then it<br>
shouldn't be difficult but otherwise there may not be much we can do.<br>
