SANBORN INSURANCE ATLASES                                                                                                             Back to:  | Maps | House History |

The Sanborn Map Company was the largest producer of insurance atlases in the United States.  Maps illustrating the built-up areas of cities were published and updated periodically by traveling surveyors so that insurance companies referring to the maps would have reliable, current information to make decisions about insurance risks and rates.  Today the Sanborn Atlases are important tools in carrying out building preservation research.

The table below shows the Sanborn Insurance Atlases available on microfilm in the Stephen H. Hart Library.  The table shows the cities included,  the dates the maps were created or updated, as well as the number of sheets for each town.
