Compass Rose--Edwards AFB, CA

The worlds largest compass rose, located at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California.


The Compass has a diameter of 3/4 of a mile but it is unknown when the rose first appeared on the airfield, and honestly, that information is probably classified. It is a national landmark.

The rose serves as a landmark from the air for pilots, and a delight for Google Earth tourists.
