<p>I'm not trying to import anything, just reference it, alongside
other sources like aerial imagery and eventually maybe GPS traces
I take myself, while making edits.<br>
</p>
<p>I did find a way to see the DCR Trails data at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?layers=eb2a904422ba40b283f08641c7e5f65e"><https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?layers=eb2a904422ba40b283f08641c7e5f65e></a></p>
<p>And I think I can get a geojson export of it at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/eb2a904422ba40b283f08641c7e5f65e_0.geojson"><https://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/eb2a904422ba40b283f08641c7e5f65e_0.geojson></a><br>
though it looks to be too big as is to use within iD easily.</p>
<p>Thanks for confirming that those are all public domain sources,
though.<br>

Yes, public domain. But it will be much easier to import a
shapefile from MassGIS than to extract details from a map. Here’s
general information on importing:

<div class="">Just to double-check, are the DCR trail maps
posted at<br class="">

valid sources to reference when updating OpenStreetMap?<br

(Particularly for things like trail names,
colors/symbols of the trails, amenities, etc.)<br
class="">
<br class="">
I don't see any specific copyright info on them, and I
know in general things the state publishes they consider
to be public domain, but I just wanted to double-check.<br
class="">
<br class="">
There is also some similar data from MassGIS (maybe even
the source for those maps) at<br class="">
<<a

in what looks like some sort of ArcGIS format, and I
know that MassGIS definitely considers their stuff to be
public domain, but I haven't dug into how to use that
format easily yet, and sometimes it's handy to just look
at an existing map, you know?<br class="">
