@Reconstructed Rebel and all, thank you for the correction- it's been fixed!:

When it came to town building placements, many were based soley on the 1858 town map (unless I found a reference to a building's modern address/coordinates).

1858 town map has the Rupp house just south of Welty across Baltimore. But this might be a cases where the older maps are inexact or derived from each other.

For anyone who wants a copy, the only "free" high quality version of 1850 Sidney town map I could find was on the wall at the Heritage museum:

The heritage museum also had this incredible modern map of 1863 Gettysburg with full buildings outlined and outbuildings/barnes delineated. No sources on it, but I've assumed it to be accurate where I can find corrboration from the 1858/1850 maps:

In general, I've found surprisingly few town maps with citations/names of owners exist out there--apart from the above. If anyone knows of any other sources, please share! Feels like I'm missing something obvious...

I remember admiring that wall map at the Heritage Center museum and wondered why it wasn't more available, digitally or otherwise.

@Reconstructed Rebel, thank you! Second time's the charm! Should be fixed now

1. R. Dustman should be Casper Henry Dustman
2. Across the road from Mary Thompson is the A.(Alexander?) Riggs house where John Burns crawled to the night of July 1. He laid on the cellar door. Riggs had a small shoe shop somewhere to the south of the house.
3. Across from the Dustman house in James Thompson (son of Mary). This would be the stone portion of the modern house.
4. Mary Thompson had a stable on her property, I am not sure of it's location compared to the house. It may be your unknown building.

@mwalker6043, this is terrific information! Thanks to your info, was able to track down this graphic from a Riggs house excavation. Updating map accordingly!
