Course Aerials: 1950 & 1955

Continuing the series of aerial pictures, the 1950 image that was previously posted is above, and the photo from 1955 is below.  With the exception of the bunkering around 5 green, I couldn't pick out a lot of changes on the golf course.  However, it looks as if a road no longer ran through the course's center by 1955 and a lot of houses were constructed along 3 fairway.  Between 1940 and 1960, Madison's population exploded from 67,447 to 126,706 people, and the city began to engulf the course.
