Other Information
Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2.
Historic Aerials' imagery dated 1966 was used to determine where this Mail Pouch barn was located. The site, as shown in Photo 2, has been completely cleared. The 1966 imagery clearly shows the site configuration and all of the buildings as shown in Photo 2. Historic Aerials' distance measurement tool was used to obtain the exact coordinates of the barn. These coordinates were input to the Google map program and the red pin on Photo 3 is the location of the Mail Pouch barn. The pin was used to determine the address and the location information.
Where to find it
