General note
The sketch was before Indian Head was a town and so the only street, labelled Main Street, is actually North Railway Avenue - possibly the easterly part being present-day Main Street, which currently begins at the corner of Grand Avenue and North Railway Avenue and proceeds northeasterly..
Reverse: "Main Street 1882. Copy of sketch map drawn by E.J. Brooks for his wife on Nov. 16, '82. Vital Statistics: Stores = 3, Hotels = 3, Tents = 8, Bakery = 1,Laundry = 1, Houses = 4, Livery barn = 1. All strung along the newly laid track, opposite the old station and freight shed."
