A lot of municipality borders follow the course of rivers,... as they were when the borders were fixed. A lot of small rivers have been modernised for the first time during the 1840-1860 time. Curves have been removed, and so on... That was well after the fixing of the borders. So in a lot of cases rivers do not follow the municipality borders anymore...<br>
<br>In some occasions the borders have been re-fixed to the natural border (river) during the +/- 1970 time of municipality-fusions, where they occured. <br><br>It might be wise to have a 'sneak view' on some other source to check what is the case in Ramsel/Westmeerbeek...<br>

Hello guys,<br>
<br>
In the region where I live (Hulshout), some of the borders are recently mapped, but they don't follow the exact features which form the border. For example, in the area between Ramsel and Westmeerbeek the city border follows the "Steenkensbeek" which I recently mapped based on Bing data, if I look at the border itself it has much less points and more-or-less follows the stream, but not exactly as it should be.<br>
<br>
How is the best way to correct this?<br>
<br>
* Splitting the border and adding the tags/relations of the border<br>
to the stream. Which would mean the line of the stream would both<br>
represent the border and the stream itself.<br>
* Glueing all points of the border towards the stream, so that they<br>
form a single line (but are effectively still two separate lines).<br>
* Or something else.<br>

I don't know if Mapnik renders relations, but if it does, than 1 seems a good idea. But then you have to take care then when the stream is moved (physically) the border does not have to move.<br>
<br>
2 is done in most cases.<br>
