. Most “eyes” are on that “Tennis Court Plateau”.

I was on a USGS sight the other day and the image was from 2013, when I tried to enlarge the image, an older image came up.

The image was of the leveling of the hill for a tennis court. A large amount was removed. The area where the sundial now sits was a group of small buildings like maintenance sheds with a small office.

I also looked at a topo map of the island made in 1954. It doesn’t appear to have changed much since then.

WOW! That's exactly where I'm focusing my interest right now! If you have (or can get) copies of those old leveling, etc images, please post 'em on FR -- or, meet me on FReepMail and I'll give you an email address so you can send 'em to me!

Even at 10 foot contour intervals, you wouldn't see much change -- but the topo maps I've seen are all 20 foot intervals -- which is nearly useless for what we're doing. Still, if you can post a URL for the '54 map, I'd love to get a copy!

ThanQ!! TXnMA
