Five Cowrie Creek runs across the image above the center, crossed by Five Cowrie Bridge where it runs into Lagos harbor. MacGregor Canal runs up into the image from the lower left corner. Okesuna Street cuts off the very lower right corner. The street running nearly parallel with Okesuna Street (terminating at the right at the curve of the Race Course) is Strachan Street. King George Road runs diagonally up into the center of the image from Strachan Street, then curves to the right. Igbosere Road runs to the left from the same intersection. The multi-story building under construction at the left end of Igbosere Road is the CFAO building (shown in DW_05489 and related images)
