Wisguy Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 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. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=45....,343.03,,0,4.03 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.

DennyG Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I probably should use Google's Street View more than I do since every time I do I'm incredible impressed. They seem to get to lots of out of the way places. Sort of humbling (and possibly even discouraging) at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
