A historical cartography enthusiast with a deep interest in the locations, historical boundaries, and initial purposes for the founding of, historical and defunct cities and villages that either no longer exist or that have become (either by annexation or though simple renaming) another city. I love places!

Mapping Focus:

  • Tracing buildings. If they can be classified as a House or Garage I will do so.
  • Adding parking lots and parks, plus the addition of some basic details if available.
  • Adding missing roads, removing roads that no longer exist, marking roads that may still exist but are not currently officially recorded as abandoned, renaming roads, and reclassifying roads.
  • Adding historical markers from the Historical Marker Database and the National Register of Historic Places, plus any markers placed by state-specific historical societies (when approved).
  • Added hiking, ATV, MTB, and Snowmobile trails and routes to their own relations so they can be parsed by Waymarked Trails.

"Completed" projects:

  • Keweenaw County, MI

Current project:

  • Bayfield County, WI
