As you may have noticed, the past few days I’ve been posting new and updated maps. 🗺 I was having some issues with my QGIS/Python code with the QGIS 3.0 version that cropped up after I had ported it over, so I hadn’t been making maps for a while — and honestly it’s summer and I’ve been busy.

I’m also running out of state land to map in New York, 🌲 and I’m thinking about next doing some more Vermont/Green Mountain National Forest maps, but that requires me to get obtain the latest Vermont OpenStreetMap data, 🐮 and probably update the trail and federal land boundaries, assuming the data is available. That’s a bunch of steps, so it will likely wait until the autumn or winter when I have more time to get the data together.

I would like to also map the parts of West Virginia in a higher-quality then the maps I posted last autumn, but I don’t have much West Virginia data on my computer. 💻 It’s out there, but it would have to be downloaded piece by piece, then uploaded into my PostGIS database,  and the style files built. I also don’t know the Monongehella National Forest as well as some other areas, and without other maps to back up my knowledge of the forest, it’s a bit hard to make good quality maps.
