Mapping Challenges Updates July 2023

By The National Map Corps

Our awesome TNMCorps volunteers have been knocking our recent smaller challenges out of the park! Since our April newsletter came out, we've finished up ambulances with no edit history in Washington and Oregon, and schools with no edit history in New Mexico. We’re currently working through both hospitals and police stations without edit histories in New Mexico. Thanks for sticking to it!!
