From MyFoxToledo Reports
WHITEHOUSE, Ohio -- From the helicopter you can see it clearly, Republican vice-presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's face in a corn maze (video: MyFoxToledo).
Duke Wheeler of Whitehouse, Ohio, who owns the Butterfly House and surrounding farm, said he did it to bring people to the farm this fall.
"She created a lot of excitement and we would like to see a lot of excitement out here at the maze," Wheeler said.

Heh. So it is.
Cool.
Land in the countryside of out nation in semi-developed areas like the farms in this region have a rough criss cross of roads at about one mile intervals.
My fist guess was a mere hypothetical looking at the relationship of the house to the property. When you said you thought the property was probably larger, I went to the aerial view and looked that road grid.
You’ll note the property the grid is on, is oblong. If you’ll look at the grid in the next section to the right, I think you’ll get a pretty good look at what a square mile would be.
I took the grid the property is on, extended it out on the top to match the grid on the right, and cut it in four sections. One square mile would be 640 acres. One quarter mile could be 160 acres. The precise property the maze graphic was on, was approximately equivalent to 1/3.5th of the width and height of those 160 acres. If you take 3.5 x 3.5, you’ll come up with 10.75 such equal parts to the 160 acres.
Dividing the 160 acres by 10.75 equal parts reveals each is the equal to approximately 14.88 acres.
The graphic sits on about 14.88 acres, if the original assumption that the grid in that locality is found to be the customary 1 mile square.
I’d sure like to get lost in that for a while...
I’m sure liberal punks are on their way to ruin it tonight ...

You’re more than likely right.
Sorry I didn’t proofread that better...

Perfect!!
So unique and original ~ just like Sarah Palin. “;^)
A maize maze! Amaizing!
Rules.
....I always abide by rules.
I happened across this post early this morning. Under the picture top left, the acreage is listed as 16 acres. That last estimate of 14.88 acres wasn’t too far off.
Take care.

Impossible ! Even aliens can only create circles and lines - this must have been the product of Magic !
