Where is it now? According to this 1964 aerial, it was about here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nzsvZUyMGd5kmCXr5.

Raymond Phil Garmoe I looked again. All I could find in that area is a propane tank, https://maps.app.goo.gl/8gkGH57ADZJR6MX36.

The topo map correctly indicates that the depot had a house track.
1966/67 Downing Quad @ 24,000

It was on the branch that meandered West of Keokuk.
