Reply to "Hand-drawn map phase out"

bobthurstonMember

I totally missed this exchange when it was going on. Just confused by the link in Lyman's last post, I can't find a Thurston map on there (what am I missing?).

My late 2 cents: I agree with David, these are meant to be working documents. Neither electronic or hand-drawn maps offer any guarantee that critical info will be on there, it depends on the map itself.

One thing about hand-drawn that is often overlooked is how easy it is to intentionally distort the scale to make sure we show critical details where needed. I reckon it can be done electronically too but I'm not sure how much that happens, except for things like road width and elevation profiles. (?)
