Where it all began
The following link will take you to Ted’s Vintage Art products. This specific item shows a drawing of Salem, Oregon in 1876. Note the ferry, but no bridge. Hit the Zoom In block and have fun. There is a similar view available from 1905 showing a bridge over the Willamette River. You can search for most anywhere else that might interest you. Play with it. Compare yesteryear to today.

Here is that part of Oklahoma without the panhandle, as it was public lands in 1876. Perhaps Paden can educate us as to where Norman/OKC might be found amongst all the various Indian Nations shown.

Here is Kansas City, MO looking to the southwest in 1869. The Missouri River is featured with the junction with the Kansas (Kaw) River in the background being toward the southwest part of the bend shown in the far background

A colorful view of Miami Beach in 1936. I always thought the term Government Cut was tied to the money that disappears from your paycheck before you ever get it.

I have never been to Lost Wages, Nevada. Maybe some of you can figure out where anything that exists today might be found. In the upper right there is an arrow pointing seven miles to the airport, if that helps. Note this is a 1920 view.

This is a lovely 1888 map of Iowa. There must be a ton of ghost towns shown. Had a difficult time finding Ankeny because it was a lot further from Des Moines then than it is today.

I have a reproduction of the 1875 Andreas Atlas of Iowa. It gets down to section level detail, and indeed shows a lot of towns that are merely memories for the oldest of old timers.

Yes, the view is looking to the southwest. Broadway, Main, Oak etc. all run north and south, pretty much parallel with the State Line between Kansas and Missouri. Take a look at a modern map of the same area to see how this view is oriented looking southwest towards Kansas and where the rivers meet. The streets numbered seven and higher generally run east to west. The lowest numbers tend to parallel the river bluff, running east north east. The hub of activity is somewhere close to 12th and Vine, but, that has changed a great deal over the years. The Old Muehlback Hotel, various theaters and places where ladies tend to lose their garments slowly, to music kept that area hopping many hours per day. That’s what the big boys told me.😃🤣
