TIGERMap!

A map to help aid OpenStreetMap mappers in the ongoing effort to complete the review of data from the TIGER import.

Inspired by Amanda McCann's https://www.waterwaymap.org with a UI overhaul from user Mxdanger.

Layers

The site has 6 overlay layers available but I would love to add anything folks find useful.

  • tiger:reviewed=no - All items with this key=value. The work to be done.
  • addr:housenumber - All items with this key=value. Areas where there may be corroborating evidence for roadway names.
  • tiger railway - All items with tiger:reviewed=no and railway=rail.
  • tiger pipeline - All items with tiger:reviewed=no and man_made=pipeline.
  • National Address Database - A rough map of where information exists in the National Address Database data file. This is useful for finding places where you can use NAD to do name review. I have documented my own technique in this diary entry.
  • redlined - The set of neighborhoods that were historically redlined.

Filters

The top navigation bar has a text box for users to input filters that may interest them. Filters always apply to the tiger:reviewed=no layer. It currently accepts filter text in the form of key names, key=value, key=value1,value2. It will also allow you to look for all items NOT having a certain key by adding a dash in front of the key value.

No tags have been stripped so there's a rich set of tags to investigate and get inspiration from. Here's some ideas to try:

  • cycleway
  • lanes
  • surface
  • tiger:source
  • !name
  • surface=*
  • highway;surface
  • highway=trunk
  • railway=abandoned
  • highway=secondary;surface=paved,asphalt
