The 4600 block of Bellevue Drive on Goad's 1912 fire insurance map, with 4677 marked
The 4600 block of Bellevue Drive, on Goad's fire insurance map of 1912; the map may print the street under an older name. The ring marks 4677, placed from the City's address point today (inferred). In 1912 the map draws nothing on the spot where 4677 is today: an empty lot, a parcel not yet cut into lots, or land the survey left blank. Georectified by the City of Vancouver (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).
