It was then located at a commercial parking lot, which was soon to be condemned by the state for widening the freeway. The mapbook shows the footprints of the buildings which surrounded the tree. The location is within the triangle formed by the on/offramps and slow lane, but is slightly different than the marker that is installed in the pavement.
