Keep As a US Government map AND pre 1923 US publication, it is clearly PD-US for multiple reasons. No argument has been made that it is out of scope, therefore no reason to delete. That said, I'm sorry the intermediate web source link doesn't work for you; it does for me; if we can modify the URL somehow to take care of that problem I am completely in favor of doing so. The page on that site from which this page was linked is [1]; and if that doesn't work, the front page is [2] (relevent image in 1910s section). -- Infrogmation 02:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Without adequate source, how do I know it's not from 1924 and by a private architect? -Nard 02:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So, have you found it on the intermediate web source yet, and if so, does that make any difference in your opinion that the image should be deleted? -- Infrogmation 03:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
P.S.: Sorry, it looks like that website has rather difficult navigation; so far I haven't had luck finding a better permanent URL direct link to the image description page. Such would be nice to have. None the less, I still don't beleive there is any legitimate reason to delete this image. -- Infrogmation 03:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can confirm that the link didn't work for me until I first went the front page linked above. After viewing the front page [3] to establish a session or whatever, this link [4] should take you straight to this item.

Keep This link works for me to get to the album. The image is the last one (#39). Direct URL here. Should be marked {{PD-USGov-Military-Army-USACE}}. Carl Lindberg 16:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. So, in 100 years, when that source website is long gone, Wikipedia will have to delete the image because the source is no longer available? That sounds daft. This is supposed to be a repository of images, not a mirror of images located elsewhere. This image is obviously very old and in the public domain. Amcaja 00:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, this image had been uploaded earlier that same day. Normally you do expect links to work that long ;-) Carl Lindberg 01:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
