Windmill Place Subdivision

[sevfiv]

While searching for a map of somewhere else I noticed that the cleared area off of Wilson Rd. near Atascocita Rd. had street names overlayed where none were. I figured that a new neighborhood may be going in and it just hadn't been built yet, but it turns out the land is actually the Atascocita landfill and has been for quite some time.

Block book maps of the area show the streets and lots as well as U/R. I understand that it probably was a plan that never got built and it was made in to a dump instead, but why would Google, Yahoo, and MSN maps show the streets? The block book maps aren't dated, but I would guess they're several decades old.

Does anyone know what/when/why Windmill Place was? It's on the old Edwin Stimson survey (http://books.tax.hctx.net/v045/AE1997_Vol_45-1_0030.jpg) and to the southeast there's another u/r subdivision named North Belt Forest.

Probably planned and platted but never built.

Update:

In 1981 the road was, at least, begun. Click on this link

Thanks for the link - panning southeast, Deer Trails Circle, Whitetail Trail, Fawn Meadow Dr., Buck Ridge, and some other street not named on current maps are visible, too.

It appears that the outer Deer Trails circle is still there - I'll have to check it out one day.

So this place was being thought up in the late seventies/early eighties - my main question is how/why all the current maps show the street names still..

Doing a tiny amount of searching in Google maps help, all I found was "We license map data from a network of data providers around the world."

I wonder which "data provider" of theirs provided those non-existent (or existent for a short time but never realized) streets..
