I love this! A set of maps categorized by the origin of street names.
Reminds me of a set of streets north of Princess in Kingston, ON with names like Cherry Street, Plum Street, etc. — it was a little neighbourhood with lots of cute little old houses for reasonable wrong-side-of-main-street rental rates, where a group of activisty gay women had formed a little community-within-a-community. Affectionately known as (of course) “the Fruit Belt”.
