<div dir="ltr">Ray,
<div>Thanks for taking on the task of fixing the tribal

of these, it's hard work and easy to make errors. But don't
let that discourage you. It feels great once you're complete.</div>

<div>One note - as far as I know, tribal boundaries should just
be boundary=aboriginal_lands. Admin levels are designed for
areas tagged boundary=administrative. Because tribal
lands/reservations have a unique standings they should just be
tagged boundary=aboriginal_lands.</div>

-<br>
<br>
I am seeing an interesting editing task at the eastern edge of
Riverside <br>
County in California. As of now, I am not expert enough in
JOSM to do <br>
it, but I will, at some point, be able to do it and I will do
it then. <br>
Unless someone else wants it.<br>
<br>
I am starting to add lines to define the city boundaries of
Blythe, CA. <br>
Almost nothing is there in OSM.<br>
<br>
But the interesting bit is at the nothern part of the eastern
edge of <br>
the city boundary. This line in the Colorado River actually
separates <br>
the states of California and Arizona and is the eastern
boarder of <br>
Blythe but it is also the western border of the Colorado River
Indian <br>
Tribes Reservation (<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/702934460" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/702934460</a>).<br>
<br>
The issue is that the southern border of the reservation
actually <br>
crosses the CA-AZ state line and this is not seen in OSM. It
has a "toe" <br>
sort of shape, facing west. See the eastern edge of the map
below.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gis.countyofriverside.us/Html5Viewer/?viewer=MMC_Public" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gis.countyofriverside.us/Html5Viewer/?viewer=MMC_Public</a><br>
<br>
So, what I think I need to do is:<br>
<br>
1) Change the reservation from a way into a relation with the
proper <br>
admin level. (Done)<br>
<br>
1a) Fix the southern border of the reservation, which should
cover the <br>
road there. The reservation does not include the road in OSM.<br>
<br>
2) Split the way that currently cuts off the toe, but I need
to not muck <br>
up the CA-AZ border.<br>
<br>
3) Add the lines for the toe. This also involves moving the
northern <br>
edge of the Palo Verde Ecological Reserve, whose northern edge
is too <br>
far north in OSM.<br>
<br>
4) Actually the nothern edge of the eco reserve needs to be
split off <br>
because it is now also the border of the reservation.<br>
<br>
5) Add the ways created for the norther edge of the toe into
the <br>
reservation's relation.<br>
<br>
And that is it. And I need to not break all of the other
things around. <br>
Easy peasy! :--)<br>
<br>
I am open to any suggestions. On the other hand, I am willing
to do <br>
these things when I figure out some of the advanced stuff in
JOSM. Fun <br>
stuff.<br>
<br>
cheers - ray<br>
