South Of "Laurel Park": Scouting Hike
I had a bit of time left after the previous hike to do some exploring on the south side of Stevens Creek to look for a structure shown on the 1961 USGS topo map as well as to see if an old road from the 1895 topo map still remains.
Used the USGS National Map Viewer with the "hill shade" 3D shading overlay to see that traces of the old road are present:
https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/
This tool is seriously cool, it's just like slapping a pair of those X-ray specs they used to advertise in the comic books back in the day.:

If anyone has any information on this area like who owned this 1961 structure or anything about the old road. feel free to post up in the comments:

This area looks like it's worth a dedicated trip or two to check out the old structure site and also follow the old road up to see where it goes. Not sure when that'll happen but stay tuned and will add a link to that video in the end screen.
