SAGE
From Wildsong
I'm working from time to time on mapping SAGE and NIKE bases.
I lived in Corvallis and saw the blockhouse at Camp Adair and started wondering what the heck that thing was.
Camp Adair, Oregon
After WWII they started to build a BOMARC missile base and a building to house a SAGE computer
Look here and then search for "adair"

includes articles and maps
Learning about Camp Adair lead me to wondering about the SAGE computers.

Project notes
I have a folder in Documents/Projects/Nike_and_SAGE/
I downloaded a bunch of KML files and merged them together
