Mapping Challenges Updates October 2022

By The National Map Corps

TNMCorps volunteers are truly the best! A relatively small number of volunteers edited an astonishing number of points during five mapping challenges over the last few months. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to The National Map Corps! 

Cemeteries 

The only challenge we currently have running is for cemeteries in Georgia, a rather daunting endeavor which TNMCorps volunteers are fearlessly tackling!  

Points With No Edit History  

While the Georgia cemeteries challenge doesn’t focus specifically on points with no edit history, it’s possible you’ll run into some of them anyway. 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.
