Old Grain Elevator: (Satellite, the foundation is now grass. It's shadow was apparent in the 1968 aerial.)
The industrial spur into town is very confusing because I can't see it in the 1946 aerial photo. This spur also shows up in a 1951 topo. I used this copy because it shows it better. Did the spur get built between 1945 and 1951? I find that hard to believe because it would have destroyed some buildings. But I also find it hard to believe that a couple of cartographers would invent a spur out of thin air. So, I'm very confused.
The only other aerial photo available was 1968, so I checked it out. I still don't see the spur. But, because of the shadow, one of the industries on the other side of town was a grain elevator.
