Having grown up in the Current River Area there are many same details I was able to add to the map such as small back roads that are mainly used my locals. Additionally one thing I noticed with is that many features where outdates. There where restaurants and stores that closed down years ago and new ones have since opened up in their place. So I updated the map to have the newest data. From using openstreetmap I learned a lot about citizen mapping and the people who live in an area know it the best to map it. But also using a mapping website open to the public comes with risks of inaccuracies. What I found to be challenging was that some houses weren’t properly lined up so it impacted when I tried to add a new house.
