Adventurer's Project Website, GIS/ GPS Depository and Community Action Bus Lines

The Adventurer's Project's website will use the BTA GIS/ GPS Depository for its various planning functions as consistent with a portion of it's agreement when "These data sets were developed to provide a digital depiction of the Buckeye Trail centerline in a usable and easily transferable format to assist the BT staff, agency partners, and land managers; to aid local planning agencies, telecommunications companies, and other groups with planning activities..."

The agreement is found here:

I have my depository tracks split into sections.  Those terminators can only be found in the map & guides.  Normally, I don't like giving this out to the general public, but it describes which part of the trail the project covers.

I created two tracks for the Community Action Bus Lines pertaining to it's Route C East and Route Super C in Marietta.  These will be displayed on the project's website as a part of the areas transportation relevant to adventurer's.

My full section tracks that were modified from the BTA GIS/ GPS Depository made it easier to reposition some of their paper map & guide point due to the fact that they had mileage.  All I did was backspace the track from the terminator to find out where they were supposed to go.  From there, the points on Google earth could be anywhere up to 0.18 miles inaccurate.  But that's still better than using the imagery to determine that some location is the most likely candidate for it to go.  With these tracks, I added Williamsburg 15 & 16 (11/2012 map & guide) and corrected Troy 10 (11/2013 map & guide) using this method.  The Williamsburg Section points occur on the south side of the East Fork State Park.

Scioto Trail Section's original BTA GIS/ GPS Depository tracks are not merging.  So far, I've got every track touching each other, they're all in order and I've noted the direction that they're going in.  My guess is that I'm going to have to trace over every off-road segment.  As far as I can tell, the original track segments are healthy.  But sometimes in mapping, things just don't make sense no matter how hard that I try.
