1960 route

I'm not understanding the 1960 route. I followed 18th Street to Mayfair Drive. Then there's a Windsor Boulevard south of there, but you have to go out to Highway 31 to get from one to the other. Durham Drive isn't on the map. I looked at the 1959 map at [1], and it doesn't look like the roads have changed much since then, except for Devonshire Drive no longer going into Howard/Samford from the back. Several of the roads on the 1959 map aren't labeled, so it is possible some names have changed. --Lkseitz 07:02, 17 October 2006 (PDT)
