Google Earth Streetview Yt Find


Recommended Posts

While poking around on and researching part of the YT using the various air-photo and mapping websites, at Haynes, ND, a barely-inhabited blip of a town that is located a bit off of US 12 just west of where it crosses into North Dakota from South Dakota, I noticed that 1) Google Maps actually felt it worthy to send a Streetview camera van around in it, covering the entire town (it likely only took them less than 20 minutes) - that kind of floored me, too - and 2) someone there maintains a yellow-painted post at the corner of Milwaukee Ave and Conklin St.

Before about 1920, the YT made a left turn from Milwaukee Ave to Conklin St (as viewed in that image) and after about 1920, the YT ran across that image on Conklin St.

 

Fascinating.
