dolariIt's amazing how ready research is with the internet.
I'm reading about the location of the Rocky Hill school, just outside of Fredericksburg, but couldn't find it on Google Maps. I pulled up a historical USGS map from 1960, which shows the schools location. From there, I find an aerial survey from 1969 that shows the school on the ground, correlate that with another aerial survey from 2014, and BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. I find the school in a cluster of buildings.
All in about five minutes.
From Redmond, Washington.
Imagine doing that in 1985.
