Geodetic Survey Squadron (Site) (WY, USA)

USA / Wyoming / South Greeley /
 military, headquarters, survey

This was the location of Buildings 833 & 834. These were the home of the 1st Geodetic Survey Squadron (MAC) which became the Geodetic Survey Squadron under the Defense Mapping Agency. If you were a geodetic surveyor in the US Air Force you most likely spent some time here.
The buildings had gravity labs and administrative offices. They were not pretty, but they were home!

Comments

  • If memory serves the buildings were 832 and 833. *34 was at that time the base recreation center. The squadron didn't take over 832 until 1976. 831 and 832 were occupied by the SATAF folks working the the Minuteman III upgrade.
  • You very well could be correct. I'll rummage through my old stuff and see if I can find an old base map.
