These maps were initially produced for fire insurance companies to assess fire risk and were highly detailed, including information about the size, shape, and construction materials of buildings, as well as street layouts, water supplies, and the location of fire hydrants. The company was founded in 1867 by Daniel Alfred Sanborn, a civil engineer and surveyor. In 1883, Sanborn merged his company with another fire insurance mapmaker, the Perris & Browne Map Company, forming the Sanborn-Perris Map Company. The company continued to produce maps under the Sanborn-Perris name until it became the Sanborn Map Company in the early 20th century. Sanborn maps remain significant historical documents, as they offer detailed records of the development of cities, neighborhoods, and buildings over time. They are frequently used today by historians, urban planners, and archaeologists for research into urban development and historical land use. Please ask question before bidding or purchasing.
