Doesn't the US have anything equivalent to the UK's OS grid references?
If you have a grid ref. - which you would work out by comparing what's
on the ground with a current map - then even if there is considerable
redevelopment, new roads, diversions of streams, etc. once the area ha
been remapped you could look up the reference on the new map and thus
refind the location on the ground.
And don't be too sure about lasting! If you enter 414300,408300 into
www.streetmap.co.uk as grid coordinates it will point to what was a
burial ground. This isn't the cemetery currently marked on the map
because the local council turned it into a mini-park and removed as many
of the grave markers as they could get away with. Those left aren't in
the original locations, some of them are being used as paving stones!
