[Talk-us] Strategy for Naming Parts of a Large Park

[Elliott Plack]

The Patapsco Valley State Park (PVSP) (1) is a major state park in the
Baltimore area that Baltimore mappers (myself included) spent a lot of time
mapping. One issue I have with the current multipolygon is how to better
show map users the officially "named" areas.

PVSP consists of several nine or so areas (2) spread out over 30 miles of
the Patapsco River valley. Some of the parts are contiguous, others not.

What is a proper *strategy for adding these named parts to the map* such
that the relation remains? Perhaps a super-relation for the whole park,
with each smaller part as a sub relation/way?

Ultimately I'd like to see the areas rendered on the popular renderers,
since locals refer to the areas by their area name.

Best,

Elliott
