Bonnaughtown Road?

[Venter]

I was looking at an old map of the Civil War, and saw the road leading East from Gettysburg labeled as "Bonnaughtown Road".

Is that the same as "Bonneauville Road" today?
Why, or when, was it changed (if this map is correct).

It was produced in 1907 by a George W. Wallace, 116th Rgmt. Ohio Volunteer Infantry

From Wikipedia: The town's name prior to its 1961 incorporation was "Bonnaughtown" (alternate spelling "Bonnoughtown"), a German name consistent with the area's history of German immigration. The original name appears in journals of officers and soldiers who passed through the town during the Gettysburg Campaign of the United States Civil War.[3]

In this campaign the marching was unusually severe, and for eight days the men were kept in the saddle on an average of twenty hours out of the twenty-four, with little to eat and no forage for their horses. The regiment arrived upon the field at Gettysburg on the 2d of July, and taking position on the right flank between the York and Bonnaughtown roads, was immediately thrown in way of the enemy's cavalry, which, just then advancing to the attack, was handsomely repulsed.
During the morning of the 3d, Gregg now commanding the Second Division, with Custer's Brigade of the Third Division, was in position overlooking the entire field of conflict, which was held during the terrific cannonade of that day. When at length, after two hours of incessant fire, it finally slackened, and the rebel infantry moved out for their last grand attack, Hampton's Division of cavalry advanced upon the Bonnaughtown road, determined to force its way, and gain the flank and rear of the Union army.
