[Talk-us-massachusetts] Mapping stone walls

[Tom Parent]

Estabrook Woods in Concord, MA is an OSM example of higher density mapped
stone walls.

I found it interesting the town did their own detailed wall mapping
exercise in '95, available as a layer on the town GIS.

I'd recommend not making any unnecessary node glue alignments to other
elements.  For instance, the stone wall might be close to but not exactly
the parcel boundary (mapped as a separate element, for example, a
leisure=nature_reserve) as defined by town GIS.  Though, I've seen several
older survey maps where the stone wall WAS, by survey definition, the
official boundary.
