For 60 years the “city” has a high dense road network, but barely any house has been built. Also make sure to check out the Wikipedia entry for Salton City. And I think it is very funny, they call the very salty lake “Salton Sea” and you clearly see it is a big lake ;-) .

Here is also a Flickr stream for Salton City.

Google Maps at Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) west of Amesbury and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones and sits at the center of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
