Data stored here. Data stored as lat/lngs in a table, inside a Google Document. Polygons are represented as a series of coordinates, so some conversion will be necessary.

This is the kind of fun data transformation I like to do! Let me know if you need it in geojson, and I can write a script for you.

Hey @jimmyrocks, as long as the output is readable in QGIS, I'm set. Script at will! ;)

Point data

Seeded with the following attribute-to-tag conversions: Location -> name The following attributes were not uploaded: Equipment number (2 columns), PDOP, HAF

In all cases, the Location attribute serves as both a name and an indicator of the type of point of interest. The following categories were identified, the most similar preset selected, and tagged accordingly: Monument historic=monument Regulatory Sign tourism=information; information=sign; sign:type=regulatory Entrance Gate barrier=gate Fire Hydrant emergency=fire_hydrant Flag Pole man_made=flagpole Entry Sign tourism=information; information=sign History Kiosk tourism=information; information=exhibit Historic Building historic=yes; building=yes (includes Historic Wellhouses, Historic Privies) Historic Well man_made=water_well; historic=yes Nature Trail Marker tourism=information; information=guidepost Picnic Area tourism=picnic_site Water Fountain amenity=fountain Historic Marker historic=marker Grave Marker cemetery=grave

These types were not imported, as they are not supported in Places: Culverts Picnic Lights Water Lines Pump House (this also appears to be mislocated in a random farm field far from the park) Lift Station

additional tags added to all points: nps:unit_code=fols nps:source_system=Fort Larned GIS Information

As captured in the raw DMS-to-geojson conversion process, the polygons for parking areas were coarse enough to warrant digitization from imagery within Places Editor. Data provided informed the digitization process.

Digitized using Places Editor: roads, bridge, parking areas Data not digitized-- --duplicates existing data:
