Ken (wvcogs) has very kindly posted online two versions of the large Hessville map I compiled:
The map leaves out only the eastern and extreme southern parts of Hessville. It represents the area as it was in the late '50s to early '60s. Though of interest mostly to local area buffs, I think it has two uses for Shep fans:
(1) When a Shep-related place is occasionally identified (such as The Pin Bowl), the map can be used to locate it very precisely; and
(2) I've recreated the precise layout of both the old Harding portable and the newer '50s Harding (see Legend near upper right corner); this will be new to most of you. And I've updated the Harding school complex in light of the rare old photos that have recently come to light (thanks to Jim R and the webmaster of www.hhs59.com), and also the satellite photo Ken supplied. I've included only the flagpole that shows in one of the photos ... though I still seem to remember there being one on the Cleveland Street side, darn it!
Buildings and empty lots are not to exact scale. I tried, but mostly buildings show up as just as big as their label. And though I've used some of Ken's information as well as my own, the map shows only highlights, and is not complete. For anyone interested in the southernmost part of Hessville, former resident svea3 has a wealth of information.
