Wow! I got my very own Golden Spade award. (It’s a major award, BTW.) I am humbled, but I really shouldn’t be included with TXnMA and buffaloguy. They really did the digging here.
Yes...a long time ago Google Earth imagery was throwing out some weirdo elevations and tennis court line distortion on Little Saint James Island. I made a comment here about this being vewy, vewy skwoowy, and TXnMA ran with it.
I have found Google Earth to be quite reliable for elevation readings. As I’ve mentioned to TX, back in my old Ohio farming hood there’s a high hill behind Mom’s place with a US Geological Survey summit marker that Google Earth agrees with to the foot. Moving the screen cursor in any direction from that summit point yields a drop in elevation. As it should be.
But as TXnMA and buffalogy have so skillfully pointed out, on disturbed or changed elevations (excavation) the GE EL readings AND the corresponding visual elements are thrown off.
I’m also getting weirdo elevation readings on the flattened “garden area” out there at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch. The GE elevation figures just don’t jive well with what I’m observing.
TXnMA (and some others) have made comment that this raised up area (”raised” verified by a TXnMA 3D side view) represents a might prodigious amount of earth which came from.................somewhere.
