Abstract

Recreational trails data for our maps
Track: National Mapping
Authors: Greg Matthews, Robert Pierce

A Federal Trails Group is exploring ways to assimilate existing recreational trail information with trail center lines, minimal attribution and a universal unique trails identification system leading to the eventual establishment of an authoritative geospatial National Trails Database for the country. In one instance “a Trails Partner Project concept” has been proposed to utilize trails data collected by differing trails organization. Other proposed collection efforts are being explored.
