Might want to check if there is some sort of tag indicating seasonal before removing from the map. On the beach near me many of the lifeguard structures are built on what amounts to a sledge and are dragged to storage at the end of the summer season. In summer they are placed in the same locations each year, if nothing else so that the communications and power connections don’t need to be relaid. But even if they don’t need power and communications, the visitor use patterns remain fairly constant so the location of lifeguard stations/towers/structures remains fairly constant. In any even, depending on the season the aerial imagery was taken you may see only an empty stretch of beach. Or you may see what looks like a small building from above.
