[Talk-us-massachusetts] Mapping stone walls

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

Yes, I like to map stone walls. I wish they would render in the OSM default
viewer to look more like a stone wall than a simple line.
One of the first mistakes I made years ago in OSM was to delete a wall  in
a local woods. It took a while for me to realize that it was a wall and to
re-create it.I
I also like cellar holes and once read an article about all the discoveries
that were being made using LIDAR.
