Not marked is the water tower, situated right next to 5) Carter Co. [Also not marked is Wells Mfg., to the left of 14) Depot. 15 and 16 are on the far right of the map, not showing here.]
Note what looks like a Railroad Spur track from the left of #11 (Grain Co.), crossing Main St. and curving toward West St. Wonder if there was a business in that area at the turn of the century or earlier?
