I guess that the latter might probably be the case. Nonetheless it
would
be interesting to see what NatSurf can do with it in the fullness of time.

Well, KYP is of course of some limited interest, but at least three
men
and a dog locally definitely think it's a great idea. As a community
project I feel that it has merit. It certainly is of historical interest
and has come up with a number of surprises for me.
Also useful in genealogy research. In one of the old maps I found a street
(now disappeared) where some ancestors lived.
