Sanborn map of Fort Pierce Florida, 1918

Sanborn maps are detailed maps of many U.S. cities and towns in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Originally published by The Sanborn Map Company (Sanborn), the maps were created to allow fire insurance companies to assess their total liability in urbanized areas of the United States. They contain detailed information about properties and individual buildings, including streets, street names, building footprints, businesses, as well as the proximity of water and whether the building has electricity or heat. While originally created in color, only black and white are available here.
