Create custom map data

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Use this pattern when the points, lines, or polygons you need are not available as ready-made data and you have to create them yourself.

Solution

Use a tool that lets you draw points, lines, and polygons directly on top of a base map and export GeoJSON. Start with the minimum area or features you need, then add attributes afterward.
