<div>Might explain how OpenCycleMap is off in spots at z=9 with state
names at Pennsylvania/Maryland/Delaware (Delaware is a long way from
Cumberland). I'm not aware of the history or explanation of

<div>There are little messes in our map. Yet, we do achieve
harmony and consensus. Even with all the skipping of that middle
