<p>Hello -</p>
<p>Can anyone explain the best way for me to do something here? I am
trying to identify the city boundaries of a city in California.
Right now, there is a relation for the city of Blythe which covers
a very small area to the west of the city. And then there is a
node in the center of the city. I how (mostly) how to use both
JOSM (not as an expert) and iD. But there is obviously something
here that I do not understand.</p>
<p>Blythe is on the border of California and Arizona on the
interstate between LA and Phoenix.<br>
</p>
<p>I have downloaded the 2019 TIGER data for California
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TGRGDB19/tlgdb_2019_a_06_ca.gdb.zip">https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TGRGDB19/tlgdb_2019_a_06_ca.gdb.zip</a>).
</p>
<p>I can load the data in QGIS, select "Incorporated Places" and I
see this:<br>

</p>
<p>There it is. Blythe, CA.</p>
<p>Then I can zoom in and see a little bit of the edge on the
southern city of the city.</p>

<p>So, we are looking at object # 383948. The north and east edges
of this block makes up part of the city boundary.</p>
<p>Now, how do I find out what the features on the north and east
side of the block are called? How do I find this in the map using
either JOSM or iD? I was hoping that I could search for the tiger
object with this id but I cannot seem to. Is there are way to find
it that I do not see?</p>
<p>When the TIGER data was in the form of text files (about 10 years
ago), a line in the TIGER data set would show its name. But it
does not contain this information in the GDB files? Is there
somewhere else one can get this?</p>
<p>What am I missing here?</p>
<p>If I can find the feature in JOSM, then I can add it to the
relation. Shouldn't TIGER lines be somewhere in the map here,
findable in JOSM? How can I search for them?<br>
</p>
<p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p>
<p>thanx - ray</p>
