First time I've ever seen this....thanks!
Map appears to show a turning-loop track on the 6th Avenue line near 6th and Hoitt. Wonder if it was actually in the street or on a side lot? Although I've spent all but the first two of my 53 years in Indiana, I have fond memories of vacations spent with aunts and cousins on Gillespie Ave in the 60s and 70s.
I think, by '31, some of the old lines had already been converted to bus routes or "electric trolleys" (electric buses running off overhead wires). I'm pretty sure the actual street car ran all the way to Cherokee CC at one point.
