You might be able to find older maps at http://www.terraserver.microsoft.com/ or http://www.terraserve.com/

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing some photos of that either... I had no idea they had one there at some point.

Roundhouse at NAS Miramar
Posted by unclejoe009 on Saturday, May 28, 2005 1:26 PM
Does anybody have any information or photos (or know where I can find some) on the old roundhouse that was at NAS Miramar (now MCAS Miramar). It appears that when the Marines took over the base, the roundhouse was torn down, and I had only seen it once when I was little. Google searches came up empty handed so if anybody has information on this it would be greatly appreciated.
