Quick Start Guide for a Virtual Tours
To experience a guided Virtual Tour, select the desired town you wish to explore from the left side bar or from the mobile menu, and click the Virtual Tour icon. When the Virtual Tour opens in Google Earth, click the Slideshow button to begin the tour. You then use the onscreen navigation controls to progress forward (or backward) to each stop in the tour. Each tour stop will display a Tour Stop Information Card or a Tour Slide that you can read at your own leisure and also view any photos. Just like the Atlas, the Virtual Tour supports Google Earth’s 3D terrain and Street View features, providing an immersive perspective that helps place historical development within its physical landscape. To exit out or quit the tour click the left arrow (<) located at the top of Google Earth slideshow page. Also, see the getting started demonstration video.
Quick Start Guide for the Atlas
The Atlas allows you to freely explore Prescott, Chino Valley, Clarksdale, Cottonwood, Jerome, Humboldt, Mayer, and the surrounding region via Google Earth. To begin, you need to open the Atlas (a link is provided above) and then double-click the prominent red “Start Here” place mark, which opens an Information Card containing hyperlinks to fly to each town including nearby ghost towns. The "Start Here" location is the courthouse in downtown Prescott. You can always fly back to this default location any time by double-clicking this red “Start Here” place mark. Once inside Google Earth, you can do exploration by navigating directly to individual towns and freely explore associated railroads, railyards, mines, historic sites, and ghost towns. The Atlas supports Google Earth’s 3D terrain and Street View features, providing an immersive perspective that helps place historical development within its physical landscape. Also, see the getting started demonstration video.
