Ryan Tate: Where would this grain elevator be at in Oreana Today?
Dennis DeBruler: This is the location I have for the depot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/CKgvwzm11QagLaMa8
So I would put the elevator about here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aDty2vML2QEU3a1D7
Because there is now a building close to where the elevator was, Google won't let me drop the pin accurately. I could not find the elevator on a 1941 aerial.
