with streets and some landmarks labeled as they exist today
Note location of CHURCH, SCHOOL, HOTEL and road going down to 18-Mile Creek from from south end of Versailles Rd. over to North Evans. Area in the middle was to be laid out in lots. Many people bought lots but the town never materialized.  However, the layout of Lake View today is based on this schematic..
