Antenna Site view of its sourroundings. This panoramic view of Newton, Kansas on May 18, 2002 is courtesy of AB0TX, Mike; Sedgwick.

Facing almost directly due west, we see the downtown Newton area in the immediate foreground. This was an exceptional day to be atop the grain mill. Visibility was nearly unlimited, giving a birds eye view of the horizon.

Looking a few degress West from due South, we can see the local cell phone tower located near Newton Fire Station Two; three blocks from the antenna location. The intersection of 1st and Main is to the right of the tower. Mid-left; a part of the Friendly Acres Ritrement campus is visible.

Looking to the southwest, we see one of the busier rail yards in the trans-continental maze of rail trans-portation. Directly in front we see all of downtown Newton. Once again, the conditions were right and visibility was incredible.
Looking to due northwest - St. Marys Catholic Church and the midtown towers in the left of the picture. Newton High is in the distance directly behind those structures.
Under the railing in this photo are the switching yards for the BNSF Railroad. Bottom left is Walnut Street. This shot is taken a very few degeees East from due South; showing the lush green trees over the south side of the city.
Looking Northeast, the road going off into the distance is the old route that U.S. Highway 50 took through the city. Locally this is known as Old Trail Road until it merges with the present U.S. 50 by-pass via I-135. What we actually see most visible is the dual-rail main lines for the BNSF Railroad right-of-way.
