Re: I'm Trying to Track Fires/Trails in This Blog Post
Paul, I posted quite a few trails you didn't mention - some are from the Riverside fire and some are from the Lionshead Fire - Feel free to add to your list if you want:
https://www.trailadvocate.org/sf-forum/ ... res/#p5136
The list is very long - I think the stuff down near Olallie is going to be destroyed - it looks like that burned pretty intensely. I was very glad to hear that the Cabins survived.
I'm hoping that large swaths of the Riverside fire were mosaic burns and we won't have a moonscape. Time will tell.

Solid job. Hard news to take about the PCT in the Jefferson Wilderness. I hope it's not a wasteland.
Believe it or not, I barely ever ride a mountain bike.

I just threw this together
Map of OSM trails and current 9/17/20 fire perimeters
https://arcg.is/1TmGG0
It’s based on OSM trails, named trails are labeled (poorly and ugly but they are there). If it’s not in OSM it’s not in this map but a number of us have been adding a lot of trails over the years. It’s a snapshot in time, I can run another analysis in a few days if these things keep growing

Amazing work! I will certainly link to your post from mine, which I am keeping pretty general just to save myself some work .RobFromRedland wrote: ↑September 17th, 2020, 5:08 pmPaul, I posted quite a few trails you didn't mention - some are from the Riverside fire and some are from the Lionshead Fire - Feel free to add to your list if you want:

Also amazing work here. This is the kind of technology that I was hoping somebody would take advantage of. I just wasn't up for learning it! I will also link to your work from mine.aiwetir wrote: ↑September 17th, 2020, 10:52 pmI just threw this together

Re: I'm Trying to Track Fires/Trails in This Blog Post
I’ll be updating the trail data tonight or over the weekend, add roads, will buffer the perimeters to account for some growth or closures, will try to put building footprints and other objects of concern.
Might just change the basemap to OpenStreetMap and not have to do all that, but the highlighted trails I’ll keep

Re: I'm Trying to Track Fires/Trails in This Blog Post
Maybe use the ThunderForest Landscape base layer so the trails stand out better?
Re: I'm Trying to Track Fires/Trails in This Blog Post
I haven’t looked at that map in while because I’ve never liked it much but it looks like they have improved it a bit.
The idea was to highlight and label the trails within the perimeter but I can use whatever basemap I can get to load.
My coworkers suggested a bunch of changes but I’m thinking simple might be better

Just got this response from the Megan Selvig, Program Director, Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center:
We received aerial footage this past weekend that shows all of Jawbone Flats, with the exception of cabin 4, has burned in the Beachie Creek fire. We do not yet have photos of what the state of the trail and bridges are, though we do see green trees around Jawbone Flats which gives us hope that much of the ancient forest is still there.
