This is a snapshot on Google Earth of the North Country Trail in North Dakota's original (blue) modified (red) tracks. I used Google Maps Engine snapped to roads feature to help eliminate some track segments. The less I have, the better. Then I had to overtake five by hand. So far, there's 66 tracks left. My goal is to merge this state into one single track with a working elevation profile. In order to do that properly with the least amount of errors, they'll have to be merged no more than 6 tracks at a time.
In NCT's direction of progression, everyone of those tracks must start in the east and terminate in the west. I routed the on road and part of one of the canals in the westbound direction, so their ready. And I already know that one of the tracks is eastbound. It and possibly the others will need to be reversed before a merge is attempted. Some of the remaining original tracks might be very small. They'll need to be overtaken by hand from a nearby track and deleted.
This data might get me an unofficial total mileage for this state and show me where the highest and lowest points are.
