Pierson v. Post (N.Y. 1805)

Fairfield Pond and Peters Pond, near where the fox was captured, can be seen on this map showing Pierson's and Post's property in the area. Note that no one seems to live near the ocean on the old map. What was once "waste land" is now a part of the Hamptons, some of the most expensive real estate in New York State.

Tribune Co. v. Oak Leaves
(Ill. 1926)

Guyon's Paradise Ballroom, from which Oak Leaves broadcasted, was destroyed by fire in 1972. Tribune Co.'s then-new headquarters, the Tribune Building, remains a Chicago landmark.

Jacques v. Steenburg Homes
(Wis. 1997)

Steenburg's field was between Glen Flora Rd and Paradise Ln. Note how tempting it is to cut across to reach a home at the end of Paradise...

State v. Shack (N.J. 1971)

This farm in Rosenhayn, NJ farm is listed as previous address of the (still living) wife of Morris Tedesco, and is very likely the farm at issue in the case.

Sundowner v. King (Idaho 1971)

The Sundowner Motel was purchased by the city of Caldwell and demolished around 2016, exposing a creek that ran under the hotel (apparently for conversion into a public park). No apparent trace of the neighboring hotel (or, unsurprisingly, the spite fence) remains. Time-lapse video of the motel's demolition is available.

Eyerman v. Mercantile Trust
(Mo. 1975)

#4 Kingsbury Place is the large, tile-roofed house with a pool in the backyard, at upper left in this aerial image. Private Kingsbury Place is less than a mile from similarly private Portland Place, the street (and property) made famous by a 2020 confrontation between Black Lives Matter protesters and armed homeowners Mark and Patricia McCloskey.

Johnson v. M'Intosh (1823)

The land claims at issue in the case encompassed significant portions of what is now Illinois and Indiana. William Murray, one of Johnson's predecessors in title, negotiated purchase of the land from Indian tribes at Kaskaskia, a French, later British frontier outpost that has since largely been destroyed by flooding of the Mississippi.
