historical mapping can be hard. i have the resources to do a bunch of it for
the Civil War, but the tagging system doesn't support a lot of the data and
it would just make a mess of the map, i think, right now.
but there are cases where we could tag historic road names where they differ
in a significant way from current names without too much trouble. this
wouldn't
add clutter.

FWIW, when we mapped at Manassas, we mapped what's on the ground now.
Not to say there couldn't be other approaches, but we didn't really
have a plan in hand to do historical mapping.

definitely. i've done some mapping of the Antietam Battlefield Park,
and would love to do more.
how do you (SteveC) envision this? there are numerous things that
can be
mapped, but some would seem pretty unreasonable to attempt in OSM
as it is now (e.g., showing all the unit locations during the day
at Antietam
as they appear on the 1908 Cope maps).

I would definitely be interested. We had a mapping party at
Manassas Battlefield last June, but there are so many other
battlefields within an easy drive of WashDC that need greater
visibility on the map. And now that the weather is moderating, it
would be a great time to do some historical mapping.

Hi
Anyone interested in mapping civil war sites, maybe with a
mapping party? I mention because the anniversaries are all
coming up.
