Maybe I'm just missing it, but when discussing the Fort Worth drive-ins I read about a map archive that would show a location at various times. I didn't bookmark the link however, and now I want to find it again. Does anyone have that link? I think it had maps from current times, 1980s, 70s, 60s and 50s.

It's Historic Aerials, Doohickie. Here's the link:

Historicaerials.com

I've personally known about it for around two years now, from a link through the U.S. Geological Survey, and it's become a very handy website to refer to. They don't have every single year cataloged, and some areas of the U.S. have aerials that go back further than other areas, but wherever you see a dark green patch, that's where they'll have aerials that go back at least fifty years. They also have an option to purchase a particular aerial frame, which I haven't done as yet.

Try 'em out and see what you think. Good luck, Doohickie! smile.gif
