Hi,
I think that Beaupel is a family name. My guess is supported by the
Wordreference.com web site, where one user writes:
"Beaupel is definitely a family name, there were 139 persons born in
France with this name in the XX century, many of them in Normandie. A
lot of Beaupel have been located in the XIVth century in England (mailny
Devon and Bedfordshire, some in Corwall). Pel may be an ancient form
for peau (latin pellis), or perhaps for poil (latin pilus)"
Perhaps you could find more information in a genealogy database?
Cheers,
Louise

I received the following question regarding Sanborn Maps, and don't have
an answer, so Ms. Miller said it would be fine to send her question to
the maps-l community. Please respond either directly to her or back to
the list.
Thanks,

Good afternoon - I am doing some research using Sanborn maps here in
Rock Hill, SC, and am coming across the street name of Beaupel Place in
several different locations. When I found this, I began research to see
if this was a general term used for unnamed areas of residential
concentrations in a specific area and found that this term was used on a
number of Sanborn maps throughout the US. Do you have any information
about the use of this term?
