Houston also had highway ramps going nowhere (with matching rusted out cranes). I got the impression that the money dried up suddenly one day and everyone just walked away. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD http://www.ben.com/ |

John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) Do you have any lat/lon coordinates? It sounds like it could be an interesting Google Earth trip. |

There are some street layouts like this just west and just south of E60 in Eloy, AZ. They aren't listed as "street pattern" on the chart, and they aren't completely vacant - there are a few houses - but they're pretty bare.

There used to be one of these in Kansas City, Missouri, as well. In this case, though, the area _used_ to be full of houses. The houses were bought and razed some time in the late 1960s or early 1970s, nominally for the purpose of building a highway, but allegedly for the purpose of "cleaning up a bad part of town". There were trees, streets, street signs, and even street lights, but no houses. About 25 years later, they finally built the highway - US 71. The place I remember was on the north side of 63rd St. Matt Roberds |

Yes, that's the spot I was looking for. Interesting curving pattern of irrigated farm fields to the northwest makes it easy to spot. However, I don't see that one on the sectional or TAC with the "street pattern" identification. I guess it's just viewed to be not that clearly visible as a landmark. The historical aspect is interesting, however. I often use that dirt strip that's just north of the Gila River camp. The camp has never been listed on the charts as a street pattern. In fact, it's pretty hard to see unless you're looking for it. It was first pointed out to me when I was a student and my instructor and I used to practice on the dirt strip. Last time I drove down the I-10 in that direction, the Gila River Tribe was advertising tours of the WWII internment camp. Having flown over the outlines on the ground for decades, I'll bet that sightseers are probably disappointed when they actually see it. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |

It's huge, but it's never been marked on the charts because of chart clutter. Somebody must have lost a fortune on that development. There is a street pattern that is marked on the charts, due south of Arizona City (SW of Eloy). Here it is on google : http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie...39911&t=k&om=1 John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |

I've seen some of these street patterns in the desert where there's no infrastructure like roads laid, it just looks like the dirt has been scraped out into a street pattern (like someone drawing lines in the sand). They are also in the middle of nowhere. I guess someone wanted to practise using a bulldozer. -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid.
