Cold Contacting Sources
Volunteers collecting data for The National Map Corps are not required to make phone calls, use email, or make in-person visits to contact authoritative resources. However, online methods may occasionally come up short for identifying location or address information for a structure. So, if it’s something you’re comfortable doing, cold contacting can be a great way to get the information you need.

Mapping Challenges Updates October 2023
Thank you so much TNMCorps volunteers for helping us quickly check off these mapping challenges! Since our July newsletter, we have finished up ambulances, hospitals, and police stations without an edit history in New Mexico, and now we’ve moved on to schools with no edit history in Utah.
DevOpp's Geography Quiz October 2023
Awhile back, TNMCorps volunteer DevOpp reached out to pitch the idea of a geography quiz for our newsletter. While not specifically structures-related, we agreed that it would be a fun way for the TNMCorps community to test their general knowledge of US geography!
