Bounding boxes and names are used to create sliced map files. These could be laid out on a leaflet map on opensupermaps.com. Would need to figure out how to make the map findable.

Could name file after biggest city in file. This may confuse people thinking that only that city is in the file.

Could add description for each file on opensuper , probably largest city on second line. Would want to have it in config file so there's single source of truth for file info.

and surrounding area. square miles / meters.

Is there a defined radius for the map areas?

Areas are created by slicing the state file with bounding boxes. Basically, each state is split into rectangles.

slice_config['us:ca'] = [['north','-119.997,41.998,-125.365,38.964'],['northcentral','-125.365,38.964,-114.049,37.029'],['central','-114.04 9,37.029,-123.118,34.547'],['southcentral','-123.118,34.547,-113.994,33.312'],['south','-113.994,33.312,-119.96,31.85']]
