Keyhole Image of Ore Terminal Terrain

Google has released a cool program called Keyhole, which maps USGS data to satellite imagery and allows you to travel the world, visually.

Here's an image from the program with a view from the start of the Ore Terminal Trail to the Ore Terminal.

I used the measuring tool to approximate the footprint of the tramway; the yellow line in the middle of the image is where the tramway went up the valley. Unfortunately, the data doesn't extend into Mexico, otherwise this would be an excellent tool to approximate where the embarkation terminal on the Mexican side is located. The scale doesn't do the terrain justice. This view is from an altitude of 6700 feet.
