lockmat Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Found this on google maps by accident. What is Luecke, a family name maybe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Pretty neat.There are several hits on this including this one from NASA...http://earth.jsc.nas...es/default5.htmWe also made an empirical estimate of spatial resolution for lower contrast vegetation boundaries. By clearing forest so that a pattern would be visible to landing aircraft, a landowner outside Austin, Texas (see also aerial photo in Lisheron 2000), created a target that is also useful for evaluating spatial resolution of astronaut photographs. The forest was selectively cleared in order to spell the landowner's name 'LUECKE' with the remaining trees (figure 10). According to local surveyors who planned the clearing, the plan was to create letters that were 3100 ´ 1700 ft (944.9 ´ 518.2 m). Photographed at a high altitude relative to most Shuttle missions (543 km) with a 250-mm lens, Formula 3 predicts that each pixel would represent an area 28.6 ´ 36.0 m on the ground (table 5). When original film was digitised at 2400 ppi (10.6 mm/pixel), letters correspond to 29.4 ´ 18.8 pixels for a comparable pixel size of 27 – 32 m.It's hard to be sure since Bastrop CAD doesn't have a map feature online to get the address or account #, but I think this might be the name of a former landowner since Lueke didn't pull up anything in their Name database.

sevfiv Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Bastrop county has a lot of entries for a Jimmie Luecke - random ones showed "Hidden Pines" subdivision (none have a situs address) and Hidden Pines Dr. runs along the west side of the LUECKE cutout - the GIS viewer lands the plots right around there too.

I misspelled Luecke, never mind the end of my last post. One would think that with 3100' tall letters that wouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I used to work with someone who's surname is Luecke. Strange fellow indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
