USFS Trails import

Coordinating USFS Trail data import into OpenStreetMap

Why are we doing this?

Where is the data from

Source data: https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/edw_resources/shp/S_USA.TrailNFS_Publish.zip

Source Metadata: https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/edw_resources/meta/S_USA.TrailNFS_Publish.xml

More on this project

These scripts generate an OSM file of trails per USFS ranger district, ready to be used in JOSM for a manual review and upload to OpenStreetMap. This repository is based heavily on the LA building import

This README is about data conversion. See also the page on the OSM wiki.

Sample .osm files (not ready for import yet) are in this zip file.

Usage

Run all stages:

# Download all files and process them a .osm file per ranger district.
make

You can run stages separately, like so:

# Download and expand all files, reproject
make download

# Chunk data by ranger district.
make chunks

# Generate importable .osm files.
# This will populate the osm/ directory with one .osm file per
# ranger district.
make osm

# Clean up all intermediary files:
make clean
