WikiMapia


This is even better than GoogleMaps.
It shows locations of mundane things like restaurants, stores and parks.
Anybody can add a location, but I am not sure how items get approved, or removed if incorrect.

I knew there there were Missile Silos out in the midwest, but I had no idea that there were so many around Southern California.
Many former sites are indicated in WikiMapia like this one.
Links to websites like the Ft MacArthur Museum.
Ah a little research reveals that the Nike sites were for Surface to air defense.
