I stopped by the Brotherton house sale last week to see if I could find something to remember John by, and came across this incredible 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.

Fyke got the map scanned, and it's now on view on the Fyke website.

You can see it here, and see how undeveloped this area was 50 years ago. You can enlare the map and see amazing details.

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