incognitolm/USA-Map-Tiles

Dataset Description

The dataset is a set of map tiles for the various states of the USA.

• License: Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0

Dataset Sources

• OpenStreetMap.org
• Geofabrik Download Server
• Bounding Boxes per State

Dataset Structure

• Organized into folders by state
• Structure of graphml files:
  • Top of files have a list of keys/ids that correspond to the properties of the segment:
    • maxspeed: speed limit
    • oneway: if it is a one-way road
    • lit: if the road is lit
    • lanes: the number of lanes
    • Other tags can be found on OpenStreetMap.org's wiki page
  • Uses nodes to describe points in the road
    • x and y attributes are for lat/lon.
• If a tile is not included, there was no map data for roads in that region.

Dataset Creation

Uses OSMium:

• Install with Homebrew: brew install osmium
  • For MacOS (Recommended)

Generated with Python and OSMium to process maps

• Input directory: Change the directory in the script to match where you have the .osm.pbf files saved
• BBoxes JSON: You need a list of bboxes per region in the JSON format shown below

[{
  "fips":"01",
  "state":"Alabama",
  "bounds":[
    [-88.4745951503515,30.222501133601334],
    [-84.89247974539745,35.008322669916694]
  ]
}]

This was used to generate the dataset (Using Python 3.13):
