<1>	Every 10 years (eg- 1990, 2000, 2010), the US Census Bureau conducts a Constitutionally-mandated count (or enumeration) of people living within the United States. This count is called a Decennial Census. The last Decennial Census was the 2010 Census, with the next one planned for 2020.
<2>	It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Thompsons Store may originally have been Thompson's Store. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Thompsons Store might be written as Thompson Store.
