A couple notes;

1. The area NE of Sand Lake Road and 80tha Ave is being developed for housing currently. The woods you added were perhaps added because the base map you are using may be out of date. Check to make sure you are adding details that are currently updated.

2. The footways added to the south side of Jewel Lake Road between Blackberry and where Jewel Lake turns south would be better as a sidewalk instead of a footway.

Hope these are helpful and not nitpicky.

Some of these sections that were added as woods are not where there are any trees.

I removed the path section that overlapped with the dirt road down to the beach.

Hi. You've added some nice edits. One small reversion I made is to remove the name from this rink. The name described the function but isn't a proper name. I hope that makes sense. Thanks.

I don't know why the feature was mapped here but directly east is a golf course if you look.

Hello. I'm curious what your rubric is for determining when to change place? Glennallen has all the amenities of a town and contextually village has a different meaning here.

New article today explains the origin of Igloo city.

"That’s the reason Google Maps labels the structure as Igloo City — a previous owner got a liquor license under that name for the building with the intention of having more igloos nearby, and the name stuck even if the owner did not, Fisher said."

Are you connected to the Igloo City push?

This is not Europe and so you're assumption doesn't hold. We know the origin of this area because it isn't more than a hundred years old.

This area is called Cantwell (as listed in AtlasObscura under igloo city).

Cantwell's origin is traced to it as a railroad stopping point and named after Lieutenant J. C. Cantwell.

Wikipedia has more info as you need.

The origin of who called it igloo city is unsourced.

Here's a twitter thread from a local historian that writes twice weekly columns for the largest Alaska newspaper and there is no reference to "igloo city".

This is cool. Is there a website that has compiled all of these webcams to browse?

I have never in my 37 years heard this place called igloo city.
