You can't link specific google map findings here for some reason...your coordinates don't bring anything up.

Yeah, annoying. Sorry bout that. You need to past the coordinates into the google maps search window.

Looks from the air that it may be Oil storage.

Looks like prime deer hunting space many times I drive past there. I've always been suspicious the deer I see there aren't wild, but raised...

j/k

I've noticed the same thing. Some are rather large.

No - there were a few of those though around the Twin Cities. It's really no secret.

Most notably out in St. Bonifacius. They actually have an original missile on display there in a city park (sans warhead of course). I think the others were in Isanti, Farmington, and Roberts, WI. In most cases, the buildings for these sites are still intact and used for different things.

If I recall, they were all deactivated around 1975 or so.

I recall, as a kid, wandering around old Nike antimissile and WW1 era shore gun sites in rural New Jersey. Those old abandoned military sites are ideal playgrounds for adventurous times.
