Nature Done Wright

Take a look at this incredible old Christmas Bird Count map featuring the Ramsey circle.

The map, though musty, is a glimpse of our region before it got developed to a fare-thee-well.

The map includes a ZIPcode for Hagstrom, so it can't be older than 1963.

The Fyke Nature Association got the map scanned. (Thanks, Fyke!)

You can download the large but detailed file here:

 You can enlarge the map and see amazing details — including how undeveloped this area was 50 years ago.

Does anyone know how old the map is, and who drew the circle, etc., and who did the lettering?

Even better, please share any info you have on the history of the Ramsey Circle!
