Data Extracted - ND, WI & MN, Relabeled C Data and Mile Markers

I extracted the trails and roads necessary to reach campsites and lodging along the North Country Trail in North Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota.  It was necessary for the placement of placemarks to make mile markers in the various states.  I cut it from NFS's data and pasted it in to mine.  But I don't think I really need to have that at hand.  Right now, all I need to do just display NFS's data and then put a placemark down.  I noticed that Michigan's NCTA mile markers were going in the westbound direction, while North Dakota's were in the eastbound.  I'm now going to make my markers westbound. 

All you do is open the properties of one of my chapter/ affiliate tracks with the "measurements" tab showing and backspace from the end of the track until I come upon a campsite, campground, lodging, or a road or trail that leads to those, then record the mileage in the preset placemarks as I go.  All measurements that don't show a decimal point, or those that are really close together will need to be read in inches, then divided by 63,360 (inches in a mile) to get a decimal.   If the measurement is a double digit number that has a decimal smaller than 0.1, Google Earth doesn't even bother reading it.

I also re-labeled all of the unnamed campsites from the point data issued by the NCTA.  So far, it's all for my personal records.

As of today, the NCT is 426.0 miles long in the State of North Dakota. It's lowest point at the Red River on the state line with Minnesota at 925ft above sea level. The highest point is a hill top that is slightly east of the City of Riverdale on ND-200. That location is 1,982ft above sea level.

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.
