Maps Digital Sanborn Maps
Sanborn® fire insurance maps, 1867-1970, are detailed property and land-use records that chart the growth and development of over 12,000 cities and towns throughout the United States. The maps are a valuable resource for urban planners, local and social historians, architects, genealogists, geographers, environmentalists and anyone who wishes to research the history and development of American cities, towns and neighborhoods. These maps provide information such as property boundaries, building outline and size, construction materials, location of windows and doors, street and sidewalk widths, as well as street names and house and block numbers. Textual information on construction details is often given along with extensive information on building use, names and owners of factories and what was manufactured in them.
