I really appreciate the recent posts here about getting information on <br>
streams. I've included some instructions on using those resources (and <br>
some others) on the wiki, and (since I know the wiki at least feels <br>
semi-authoritative) wanted to get a bit of feedback. I'm sure those of <br>
you who have been doing this for a while it may seem easy, but it took <br>
me some effort to figure out how to use the layers within iD. (And I <br>
don't yet feel confident using some even *more* sophisticated editor.) <br>
So I thought I'd document what I did and what URLs to use, mainly for my <br>
own reference so I didn't have to figure it out each time I wanted to <br>
use it but it seemed other people would probably find it useful too. A <br>
couple of the URLs were already there, but I added more layers that I've <br>
found helpful (like the MassGIS Basemap, some older Orthos, the 1:25,000 <br>
Hydrography, and the Bridges data that have been referenced here <br>
recently) and I reformatted things a bit to make more sense to me.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
I guess I just wanted some sort of review that I didn't screw anything <br>
up too badly. In particular, I did some trial and error to get the <br>
Hydrography to show up in iD (since it doesn't seem to be a "tile <br>
service" like the others) and I'm not sure I'm doing it in the "best" way.<br>
<br>
(And as a side note, the MassGIS LiDAR data is *incredible*! I didn't <br>
add the URL for it; it was already in the wiki and I just added some <br>
description and another link for information on it. But I can clearly <br>
see the old dirt road trail by my house, and stone walls, and better <br>
tell where streams are. That's an amazing resource that I was surprised <br>
I didn't know of existing before.)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Peter<br>
