I've been on a trip this summer where not many people go. I've added a couple of campsite access roads. And now I realized that one of the campsites was on a lake that doesn't show up on OSM at all. It's here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.5851/-77.3209 How does one go about mapping a lake? It's a large one, or collection of ones, or maybe a river, I don't even know really. I don't think I have the time for the entire thing. Is there a reasonable way to map a part of a lake without the entire thing looking like a mistake? Are the waters in OSM entirely croud-sourced? So people making small updates like me? Is there a guide specifically for water mapping? Thanks in advance. Edit: I started adding points to the lake I mentioned but the process is significantly slower than I thought it would be. Would it be useful to make a rough outline and let someone else fix it later, or should I wait for better data to come from somewhere? For example most of the part already mapped - was that someone tracing or some kind of automation? I can't figure out how to read history in the iD editor.
