Mark and y'all,
We have a set of maps produced by Nukewatch in 1986 which locates missile
silos in great detail. Unfortunately Wisconsin and Minnesota are not
included in the set. Nukewatch's address was 315 West Gorham St. Madison,
WI (I assume the group disbanded after the missiles were removed).
