Sanborn Maps

A project completed in the autumn of 2011 involving the Sanborn Company, Indiana University, and Historical Information Gatherers, Inc. (funded by a grant from the IndianaView consortium) has made the pre-1924 Sanborn fire insurance maps, now in the public domain, easily available to the public. I have created a page in the Downtown Hobart blog with links to the Hobart maps for 1895, 1902, 1910 and 1922.

I am so busy being grateful to everyone involved in this wonderful project that I can barely take time out to grieve over the fact that there are no Sanborn maps for Ainsworth.

They are very interesting. I've passed them along to the museum as well.
