Mapping Challenges Updates January 2022

By The National Map Corps

Quarterly mapping challenges updates and summary statistics. 

City/Town Halls  

As we discussed in our previous newsletter, we’re revisiting some of the earlier states that participated in city halls challenges. The intent is to make sure all eligible features have been collected. The map below shows which states we plan to revisit.

Points With No Edit History 

When participating in challenges, don’t forget to check for points with no edit history. You won’t find any city halls without an edit history since we started collecting city halls after the launch of our current editor; however, several of the other feature types have points with no history that are scattered throughout the States. For instance, we highlighted no-edit-history fire stations in our current challenge. See the newsletter article titled Yellow Points with No Edit History?? (July 2021) for more on where these points are located along with how to identify them.
