Cathy Spude has commented on her use of photographic evidence to locate
privies in Skagway. I don't have one immediately at hand, but don't some
of the Sanborn fire insurance maps shop the location of privies? I believe
late 19th century editions of the maps for Tucson were used to locate
privies during the Tucson Urban Renewal project in the late '60s-early '70s.
