It appears that the "roads" have already been removed as I don't see anything 
there other than the point marking Black Rock City and Black Rock City 
Airport.  Using Bing satellite imagery I can see the outline of past 
BurningMan cities but I don't know if this remains a constant year-after-year.

I wasn't able to pull the data together from your script or JSON data (still 
trying to figure out how to use it in JOSM).

If the satellite imagery is correct I'll happily start working on tracing it.  
If it isn't then I'd really like to figure out how to use your JSON files to 
create the city.
