May, 2003 photos by Tom Page

Since this former long-range radar station is now a prison (i.e., the Ozark Correctional Institute), I had to be very discrete in taking photos. I observed that several original Air Force buildings, including both radar towers, were still in place. The former family-housing area was pristine, and all houses appeared to be occupied.


The radar tower seen here is the one located in the northeast corner of the site. [looking southeast]


This shows the other radar tower. [looking east-southeast]


This is the old family-housing area. [looking southwest]
