[OSM-talk] USGS map areas with street names

[Karl Guggisberg]

Hi Adrian

I also had a look at these maps and I still don't understand completely 
how they relate to OSM. The map already displays the OSMs road network, 
but where do the street names in the USGS map come from? They aren't 
taken from OSM, are they? Are there indeed two road networks in the USGS 
map, one in maroon (from OSM) and one from an unknown source (in black)?

For my taste, navigation in the PDF atlas is too complicated (for 
mappers, people in the field may find it useful) and comparing the 
street names manually with names displayed on a slippymap in another 
instance is way too complicated too. Are the  USGS maps available as 
tiles served by a WMS server?

Regards
Karl
