But to put your mind at ease:
Here is the town as seen on Google Maps:
And here it is on Google Earth:
You'll notice the only difference is that Google Maps is sharper toward the edges of the pic.
So there you have it.

Round fields... hmm interesting agricultural technique, I fail to see the efficiency of yields, but most work for what ever they are growing for some reason.

Many times, you'll find these near a more significant body of water... they use pumps (duh) to get the water from point A to center point B.
The photo that I posted above HAS to be somewhere within the Ogallala aquifer... it makes SIGNIFICANT water (thanks mr. glacier!). The surrounding areas, however, are subsiding due to water loss and lack of recharge. In short, they're pumping it too hard...

Well, BalogUK refused his prizes (Which so far totaled a bag of M&Ms, a Bic Ballpoint Pen, and a pack of Bicycle playing cards).
I forgot to list a prize for Kimbell, Neb., but if RP wants it, I'll send him five (5) U.S. Postage Stamps (39¢ denomination).
For this last one the prize is one (1) golf ball (you can either have it autographed by me or not, the winner's call). (How exciting is that!?!?!?!)

Welllllll, It can't be that hard to water the corners.
If I thought I could make some coin I'd start working on that now.
