The grain elevator that existed in 1938 has grown. The original buildings and sidings are gone, but the curved road is still evident.

Now that I learned about lagoons for wastewater reclamation because of Sun Tan Valley, AZ, I spotted lagoons for this town. (Note the combine at the bottom near the center.) It looks like they are using a series design. I presume the small one with the two aerators is the initial treatment pond.

A topo map confirmed that the lagoons are a WRP.
