I found it through the Wikipedia page “List of crowdsourcing projects”. I’ve become a bit obsessed with this project already, haha! Also, welcome to you too- nice to meet a fellow newbie!

Thank you for the welcome! And yes, I’m referring to Deadwood and any other town in this rural area; due to the oil boom in North Dakota that has more recently spilled into South Dakota, as well as increased tourist traffic (one of the area’s largest industries), small towns and big cities alike in this region are beginning to boom. There are already whole sections of Rapid City that didn’t exist 5 years ago.

In addition, Sturgis, which holds the world’s largest motorcycle rally, is very poor in coverage despite being a major tourist attraction. I see almost no labelled businesses or destinations in or around the city.

I’ve already made good progress on Belle Fourche and Spearfish; many places in Spearfish were already labelled, but Belle Fourche had hardly any around Main Street or US 85, the most commercial parts of the city (it’s legally a city though it’s tiny).
