While we are on the topic of OH, does anybody have a know a source for a better aerial of the north course prior to its renovation between 1940 and 1963.  The 1940 aerial from the county site (see below, along with the 1963 aerial) is not great quality.    Thanks, Dan

Even with that quality you can see the south had a LOT MORE SAND in 1940 vs 1963.  That Ross guy didn't scrimp and certainly didn't need old man Jones to teach him about large scale landforms and the appropriate scale of the hazards!
