Border Problem in the Congo #1154

Closed arandomperson5000 closed 7 years ago

arandomperson5000 commented 7 years ago

I think I have may just found an incorrectly shaped border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo. 20170825093028_1

The map is based on http://www.gadm.org/ administrative borders data, and it would surprise me if it is wrong. Unless there are very fine grained features on pixel level then there may be artifacts. Why do you think it is incorrect?

This is the part of the border I was talking about 20170825131003_1 As you can see this part of the border in NWO juts inwards towards the Republic of the Congo however that part is incorrect as that part of the border in real life is roughly based around the Ubangi River. image Map of the Administrative borders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Source: Global Administrative Areas) image Map of the Administrative borders in the Republic of the Congo (Source: Global Administrative Areas)

Maybe we found a bug in http://www.gadm.org/ data :) One area is registered as part of ROC instead of DRC. Yes, then please correct it.

I've just found out what this little strange part of of the border is, It is apparently called the Impfondo district which is just one of the three districts of the Likouala Department the northernmost region of the Republic of Congo. This district is also home to the town its named after Impfondo which is the capital of the Likouala district. Due to this I'm going to edit this part of the DRC-ROC border so it pretty much lines up roughly with the Ubangi River. http://www.unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/search?page=search&docid=44966d234&query=congo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impfondo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impfondo_District

Here is the new border with it being based roughly around the Ubangi River now. 20170826174828_1

Just wondering are you able to add this updated version of the province map into NWO since I can't add it in manually as the map file size is too big to put in as a commit. provinces.zip
