OK - bizzaro post, yes I know. I was just virtually "driving by" Corban College (near Turner, OR - SE of South Salem), and thinking "what a beautiful campus!" ... then I clicked back onto the regular "Map" view and noticed there is a (obviously manmade) lake in the shape of a **perfect** peace sign that is west of the campus, east of Mill Creek, and north of the correctional facility. When I click on "Satellite" view, that same peace sign lake is kind of flooded and doesn't really look much like a peace sign on that particular day (but I can see that it would if the water level were lower). It actually looks kind of like a sewage pond. It looks like maybe it is part of the jail grounds?

Does anyone know what the heck this is?

You guessed right! It's the Sewage Treatment Plant. Be glad you went over it in google earth and not in your car!

Wow - thanks for the info. But I don't understand - why would someone design a sewage treatment plant in the shape of a peace sign? Do you happen to know the story behind it? Does it belong to the college or the jail? That's sooooo weird!!
