roadhound 29 Report post Posted May 7, 2013 You got me stumped. The only definitive information that I can provide at the moment is that I once lived 4 blocks away from the street view link in #5. It was the first apartment my wife and I lived in after getting married, 225 W. Eaton #219. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keep the Show on the Road! 35 Report post Posted May 7, 2013 Brian, I have to hit the sack, but re question 1; can't you just measure the distance from the river, or the turn back to the Y using the USGS 1915 map and modern Google Earth?

Keep the Show on the Road! 35 Report post Posted May 8, 2013 Brian, Regarding Question 1. If one uses the 1915 USGS Lathrop topo, then you will conclude that the 1915 intersection Y (point is now under the freeway, as shown on this animation, using the USGS map. The 1952 USGS shows the same Y, without any Y at point A. Therefore the Y at point A was built after 1952. So you were right, the original Y is now under the freeway. Your theory is confirmed by “independent” “authority” Now I'll look at the second question. Dave Keep the Show on the Road! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
