29 August 2002:
The FAA has published three no-fly zones where the President may be housed:
in Washington, DC, Camp David, MD and near Crawford, TX:
http://cryptome.org/bush-no-fly.htm
The yellow circle is the Bush ranch no-fly zone.
The restricted area below is for Fort Hood.
The no-fly map for Crawford gives coordinates for the center of a no-fly zone, 312437N/0973237W, which might be interpreted as the approximate location of the Bush ranch. The following aerial photos and maps show the vicinity of the coordinates. The close-in infra-red photos have only recently appeared on Mapquest.com.

The Crawford, TX, location:
http://austin.about.com/library/weekly/aa021901a.htmCrawford has the Prairie Chapel Ranch now being called alternately the "Texas White House" or the "Western White House." First Lady Laura Bush spent several weeks after the inauguration readying the ranch for its new role as the Presidential retreat away from the Oval Office. President Bush has said "...when I'm not in Washington, there's a pretty good chance you'll find me on our place in Crawford, Texas."
George W. and Laura Bush purchased around 1600 acres just outside of Crawford in 1999. Located 18 miles southwest of Waco, Crawford is about 90 miles north of Austin and convenient to Fort Hood for those flights in on Air Force One. The ranch itself, eight miles northwest of Crawford, is in an area known as Prairie Chapel.
The ranch property includes a creek, canyon, waterfalls, and meadows where cattle and deer graze. The Bush family renovated an existing farmhouse and built a new home there. As an avid fisherman Bush added a private fishing lake stocked with bass. However, the curious trekking out to the ranch won't see any of that. From the road there's only pastures, barbed wire fences, and signs that warn "No stopping. No standing. No parking on right of way." You might, however, meet up with a few Secret Service agents near the ranch and in town.

The Kennebunkport, ME, location:
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/08/national/08LETT.htmlMr. Bush prefers spending the month of August in the 100-degree heat at his Central Texas ranch, seven miles down an empty road from Crawford, a one-stoplight town. Kennebunkport, for all its cool, rocky beauty, has the constraints of family — and a crowded resort town with shops like the Copper Candle and the Snappy Turtle. Walker's Point, the promontory on which the enormous stone and brown-shingled Bush family home sits, is a striking display of the patrician New England roots that Mr. Bush has spent his political life avoiding.
It was the current President Bush's great-grandfather, George Herbert Walker, who bought Walker's Point in 1902, and then in 1905 finished what the family has always called the "big house." The house passed on to Mr. Walker's son, Herbert Walker; after he died, then-Vice President Bush bought the house in 1981 from Herbert Walker's wife.
One thing the current President Bush did not do was go for a run along the craggy bluffs of Ocean Avenue, prime jogging territory, which would have meant shutting down the road and further snarling the already backed-up traffic in town — something his parents, who live here from June to October, are loath to do.
On his 1,600-acre ranch in Texas, Mr. Bush can run wherever he likes.
