View across the former radar site, now a field of grass (and a haven for grasshoppers)  (looking north-northest) 

.

Foundations of one of the radar towers, possibly one of the two AN/FPS-6 height-finder radars  (looking west-northwest) 

.

.

Foundations for a building that stood west of the AN/FPS-3 search radar tower foundations, either for the Power Plant or for the Operations building.  Note sure which.  

.

Cable trough next to the AN/FPS-3 serach radar tower, believed to be running between the AN/FPS-7C search radar tower and the Operations building  (looking west) 

.

Former SAGE-era Ground-Air / Transmitter-Receiver (GATR) radio building, located a mile or so east-northeast of the main site  (looking north-northeast) 

Note that the grain silos adjacent to the buidling, seen in earlier recent photos, are no longer there.
