Salesville, Arkansas, Y-Store

While I was working on the last post, Norfork Dam: The Price of Progress, I happened to come across the following pictures of Salesville, Arkansas, at the junction of Highway 5 & 177.  I thought it would be nice to show the progression of one iconic spot.

 First, we will take a look at current Satellite Images & Maps.
