Default POW camps..

I was in a prisoner of war camp south of Armstrong Ontario in the late '60's..
It was still standing and the mess hall had a bunch of paintings done by the prisoners...It looked quite well preserved and the glass was still in most of the windows..
I tried to find it now on Goggle earth but couldn't locate it...
It was about 40KM south..at that time there were no roads anywhere near that but I now see that a road runs south of Armstrong south to Highway 11 and then on to Thunder Bay..When I was there it was only accessible by air or train..who knows what vermin these new roads have brought into what was once pristine and isolated forest..Long gone now....I suppose..
