Google Earth Images - the neighborhood

These 2 images show the small-scale elevation changes left by the wide braided river system I blogged about yesterday.  The snow accentuates the relief: in some places, deeper snow fills channels and they show up as brighter white traces.  In other places, the channels are darker - probably because on warmer days, they hold moisture that melts the snow.
Both are screenshots from Google Earth.  If you want to explore the area, search either for Randolph MN or Stanton MN.
