"Keep in mind, the 'S' prefix didn't kick in for all the routes of that borough until 1975-76. Until then it was 'R' (for Richmond County). But even so, early maps did seem wanting for concrete info of certain routes, no?"

A minor point but the prefixes on city buses were for the borough not county (Manhattan and Brooklyn didn't have "N" or "K" on their buses). Staten Island was the Borough of Richmond until 1975 and then the "R" gave way to "S".
