Thanks for the photos!
I finally stumbled on a great resource for aerial photos, took a lot of searching as they don't make it easy to search through 1.5 million photos, but I found a great set of Curry through Sumpter from 1952! The roadbed is still very clear, though there is not much left of Curry. I cropped and compressed a section to post here (the original was 86 megabytes!)
If anyone would like to identify place names, creeks and areas logged by different companies I would like to make annotated copies of these. I think they would make great posters to sell at the Depot! Of course, we would have to check into the copyright of the original images to see what is allowed...
