This map includes Forest Park, and then the Dogtown/Cheltenham area. There are very small numbers on the map and often they repeat. For example # 1 is the Evens and Howard Brick Company mines and since they were all over the place, the # 1 is in several places on the map.

The streets are not named. However, you can read the word "Cheltenham" on the lower half the map, just left of center. The "l" of the word "Cheltenham" is the corner of West Park and Tamm. (West Park was then called Cheltenham). From there you can figure out most of the streets. See legend below the photo.

The THICK BLACK LINE running through the map is The River Des Peres as it passes through Forest Park and Dogtown.

In addition to the Dogtown related material, there are also other landmarks and locations of Streetcar lines in this area in 1901. See below
