Lake Shore Dr. Culver 1937 Sanborn Fire Map  

Not all of Scott & Toner Avenue (Lake shore) were represented by the Sanborn Maps of 1906 & 1914! Missing was what is the most important part of Scott & Toner Avenue - the area in and around the Vandalia Depot - the very "infamous" area called "One Block West of the Depot" in all the nortious ads of the 1880's. 1890's and early 1900's. I personally can't imagine why this area with its depot, hotels and restaurants was not detailed in these maps; the 1924 map is the first accounting of the area besides some on the plat maps of the previous times.

In 1926 Scott and Toner Avenue was changed in name to Lakeshore Dr.

This cropped section of map takes from Main Street to Lakeview Street:

this next on picks up on the East side of Lakeview Street and goes down to what is Liberty Street.
