Tom took these photos during a May 2003 road trip. The former McCamey Gap-Filler Annex sits atop Indian Mesa in central Texas, just north of Interstate I-10. The old radar site is now surrounded by the huge windmills of the Indian Mesa Wind Power Facility operated by GE. The land is privately-owned, and access to the mesa is restricted. Photos were taken with permission.
The former gap-filler radar site is to the far right (north) of the windmills. [looking north-northwest]

A view of the site from the road that passes by. The radar-equipment section of the building is on the right, and the diesel-generator wing is on the left. [looking east-southeast]

All three radar-tower foundations / footings were still extant. Here, one is seen in the foreground, and a second one is seen behind the foliage a little to the left.
This view shows the radar-equipment section of the building on the right and the diesel-generator wing on the left. The long shadow extending right-left in the foreground is from one blade of a nearby windmill. [looking south]
