So, Steve - when you made your initial query, did you have something in mind? <br><br>There are scads of sites scattered throughout the Mid-Atlantic area and, as you can see, a number of us with both interest and experience with mapping historical sites. If we can bring our resources to bear (I'm thinking MappingDC...) I think it could be a really awesome project.<br>

historical mapping can be hard. i have the resources to do a bunch
of it for<br>
the Civil War, but the tagging system doesn't support a lot of the
data and<br>
it would just make a mess of the map, i think, right now.<br>
<br>
but there are cases where we could tag historic road names where
they differ<br>
in a significant way from current names without too much trouble.
this wouldn't<br>
add clutter.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

<br>
how do you (SteveC) envision this? there are numerous things
that can be<br>
mapped, but some would seem pretty unreasonable to attempt
in OSM<br>
as it is now (e.g., showing all the unit locations during
the day at Antietam<br>
as they appear on the 1908 Cope maps).

<div>I would definitely be interested. We had a
mapping party at Manassas Battlefield last June, but
there are so many other battlefields within an easy
drive of WashDC that need greater visibility on the map.
And now that the weather is moderating, it would be a
great time to do some historical mapping.<br>

<br>
Anyone interested in mapping civil war sites, maybe
with a mapping party? I mention because the
anniversaries are all coming up.<br>
