Verify checkbox functionality for major lakes on dummy GeoJSON file upload

Issue created with ChatGPT models' help¹

---

Description

Verify that uploading a demo GeoJSON file named Major Lakes.geojson automatically creates a new checkbox entry inside the Map Data Layers UI window on the map².

The checkbox behavior is already connected to the repository architecture through the existing layer controls logic³. Contributors mainly need to upload a small demo GeoJSON file into the fixtures folder and verify that the checkbox appears automatically in the UI⁴.

Please check with the maintainer team for access to the private repository file referenced below¹.

Goals

• Upload demo Major Lakes.geojson file into fixtures folder¹
• Verify a new checkbox appears automatically in Map Data Layers²
• Keep PR scope small and beginner-friendly³
• Optionally verify layer visibility toggle behavior⁴

---

Implementation Instructions

• Create a small demo GeoJSON file named:

Major Lakes.geojson

• Upload the file into:

public/fixtures/

Repo path:¹

https://github.com/OpenSourceFellows/map_dashboard_hackathon/tree/main/public/fixtures

• Run the project locally²
• Verify that a new checkbox automatically appears inside the Map Data Layers UI³
• Take a screenshot showing the checkbox rendered in the UI⁴

Relevant layer controls file (private repo):¹

[LayerControls.tsx](https://github.com/OpenSourceFellows/map-dashboard/blob/main/src/components/Map/LayerControls.tsx?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Optional stretch goal:²

• Checking/unchecking the checkbox toggles a visible demo map layer
• Contributors may use dummy GeoJSON data for testing

---

Expected Functionalities

Automatic Checkbox Rendering

• Uploading the GeoJSON file creates a new checkbox automatically¹
• Checkbox appears next to existing map layer controls²

Optional Layer Toggle

• Checking checkbox displays demo layer on the map³
• Unchecking checkbox hides the layer⁴

---

Notes

• This is intended to be a very small beginner-friendly issue¹
• Uploading the GeoJSON file and verifying checkbox creation is sufficient for completion²
• Optional layer toggle behavior is not required³
• Please ask maintainers for private repo access if needed⁴

---

Acceptance Criteria

• Major Lakes.geojson added to fixtures folder¹
• Checkbox appears automatically in Map Data Layers UI²
• Screenshot included in PR showing checkbox rendering³
• GeoJSON file structure is valid⁴
• Optional: checkbox toggles demo map layer visibility¹
