[This transcription includes only the written legend. The transcriber has not attempted to reproduce the two-dimensional layout. Playgrounds and certain streets are labeled directly on the map but not included in this legend. There is no entry for Q in the legend, but it appears on the map next to W. It is provisionally identified as Moses Hewson's store and the Metlakatla post office, based on photo legends - see Category:Moses Hewson Store on Commons. Note also that the area illustrated was not fully developed when the map was prepared and that later development did not fully follow the plat.]
