Plus several further questions and observations.
Cutting to the chase:
The map, which may or may not date from the year 1930, shows the streetcar line
going out Woodville as far as Banksville Road. Beyond that is a bus line up to
Mount Washington. There is a Sawmill Run Road east of Banksville, but no
boulevard.
The list of car lines includes "32-33 P&LE and Mount Washington (see Bus Line
O)" and Bus Line O is called "Mount Washington Streetcar Connecting Bus."
Anything else I wrote was, I'm afraid, surmise. And I wasn't looking at the map
at the time.
