Interesting stuff Steve!....
That is a very interesting thing you're doing. I once tried to make a 3d computer model of how Toronto has changed over the last 200+ years but I didn't get very far past making the terrain. I hope you have more resolve than me!
Fascinating comparisons. What's the earthwork in the last picture? It looks like the Fort d' Enchemont from the map. It would be nice to have a poke around there.

it is indeed Enchemont. There is now an airport just to the left of this view.
Great looking Project Steve!!! My how time has changed this area.
