Digging Up Missing Cemeteries
It’s no secret that cemeteries (especially older and rural cemeteries) are incredibly challenging features to research and verify: Which is probably why some TNMCorps volunteers dedicate their time exclusively to them! Volunteer LB2019gis is no exception. Read on to learn more about the complex method they’ve developed for identifying cemeteries missing from the structures database.
DevOpp's Geography Quiz October 2022
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! We hope you enjoy this slight diversion from our usual content!
Mapping Challenges Updates October 2022
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!
Mapping Challenges
Mapping challenges encourage users to edit a specific feature type within a geographic area, or address a specific issue in the data. Any volunteers who participate in mapping challenges receive special recognition in the TNMCorps map editor and on social media pages.
