The lots in this subdivision front on the following streets: Shell Road (now Lake Shore Ave.), Brooklyn, Ave., Peralta Ave. (now Cleveland Ave.), Bay Ave. (probably Wesley Ave.), Howard St. (probably Haddon Rd.), and Terminus St. (probably Kenwyn Rd.). Watson Ave. is also shown on the map and it is, today, probably Athol Ave. The "Tract List" compiled by Quentin dates the Capital Homestead Tract at 1869 and the Watson Tract at 1867. William Stuart is identified as the Secretary of the Homestead Association. One share of the Capital Homestead Association is priced at $350. There are two inset index maps also provided.
