The rows that need a sentence
PARK — Boundaries are from OpenStreetMap and village sources, simplified — good to about 40 metres, not survey lines.
INFORMAL — A path people use that no agency maintains or marks. It may cross private land or wash out; it is drawn because pretending it is not there helps nobody.
AQUEDUCT — The Old Croton Aqueduct trailway — a state historic park in its own right, drawn in its own ink so it reads as one continuous thing.
YOU — Your position, with a circle showing how accurate the fix is. It never leaves your device.
