if it works this is a map of the tiny little country town i lived in. The town is Ordway Colorado USA 81063, population of not much, i lived in two places firstly on Arkansas ave and then for a month or two on Colorado blvd, unfortunately street view is yet to hit the southwest plains of Colorado so i can't show you the front of my creepy old house. Ordway's claims to fame are that I once lived there and Biill Bryson famously mentioned the town in the book The Lost Continent. You can read some of that book and the mention of Ordway here. The mention is all the way down at the start of chapter 21, but if can get that far the description is fairly accurate.

This is my current neighbourhood, the street view is an amazing tool. When my parents came to visit they used google maps and street view to find their way around. you also get a pretty good look at my backyard with google earth.
