maps and liniguistics, (now my master cool maps thread)

An excavation company huh...wonder what sort of subterranean wonderland he has built under the Octagon of Forest.

Trying to make out what it says on the Notice sign, something like The owners this property strongly support the us military and its mission .....Respect for the men and women ....serving...yada yada yada


Other sign is

LOVE YOUR COUNTRY FEAR YOUR GOVERNMENT. Anytime a member of the US military and/or the us government is allowed to abuse their power to deny us citizens the property rights guaranteed under the us constitution and the bill of rights. THE LOSS OF THESE RIGHTS BY ALL CITIZENS IS NOT FAR BEHIND.

My personal theory is that rich dude bought the land including the giant octagon and then the federal government was like, nah dude that was an old missile sight in the 50's and we can't let you on it even though you bought it. Sorry bro....And that just set the old rich dude off.

The octagon was added sometime between 1955 and 1970.

Here it is in 1970 and you can definitely tell that the road leads into an underground area.

Definitely a bunker of some sort.

Interesting, I didn't expect the bunkers to be that old

This type of randomly looking at maps, noticing a weird feature and figuring out what the hell is going on is exactly what I needed to start my first full week in the office.

Appreciate the help 7!
