If I were doing it, I would give my own reference names to the roads (like Road A, Road B, etc.) & have that notated on a map/drawing as a key. And of course if there are newer names, perhaps note that somewhere as well (maybe a footnote?).

That said, I think this size of a place is perfect for a #OnePlaceStudy ! Please post how it’s progressing here; it sounds fascinating! #genealogy

#Genealogy friends: I started a One Place Study (OPS) for a town of one square mile. The 1950 #Census lists mostly unnamed dirt roads (there are several of these).

I am struggling to figure out an address system. Some of these dirt roads are now named but many are lost forever.

My goal is to show each home with a photo and document the people that lived there on #WikiTree

I would love opinions on how to handle this. Any thoughts?
