This is not the most exciting Mapping Monday image. It's provided mainly for reference for later posts. If you're new to Google Earth, the additions to this particular map image are a place marker for the tombstone of Edward Patterson and the addition of a photo of Tate Station (in Google Earth, if you zoom in, the icon of the camera would become a thumbnail of the actual picture). I did not take GPS readings while visiting Old Tate Cemetery (where Edward is buried) but instead just marked as close as possible, the spot where the tombstone is. This happened to work becasue the spot was recongnizable from a satellite image but in general, taking a GPS reading at a tombstone and recording the coordinates would be best.
