How this map is built

Legal descriptions, appendix identifiers and official coordinates come from the Province of Nova Scotia. The basemap and road geometry use OpenStreetMap.

Solid green lines join two official coordinates along OSM roads and pass an initial distance check against the provincial description. Dashed amber lines need closer review because the routed and stated distances differ.
