If anyone is interested in these then go to ' utahice.com/sanborn.htm ' ... For those that don't know, these are maps from around 1875---1920 of cities. These are very detailed, even showing property lines,poutbuildings, outhouses, wells, buildings, complete with building materials in some cases. This is one of the best maps I've found for nearly any place that was a city then. Lewis charges $1.00 per map. Yes one dollar!!!! If you buy a quantity he will cut you a deal better than that. I just purchased 118 maps from him. He sent me a disk with 120 maps on it. I paid $80.00. I received the disk in three days. It don't get no better except for free.

Awesome! Are the scans high quality? I was thinking of searching for sanborn maps of my area, but it looks like this guy's got all I want.

The only thing I am worried about is scale. Can you print them in original size?

these are very detailed, building by building, house by house by out house,,block by block maps...each map will be only covering a block or two..it may take 10 maps to cover a decent size city.....you can print them original size or whatever size....they show property lines, streets and in some cases even have measurements on everything including buildings and out buildings......you will not be unhappy if you purchase these, and if you are you will be the first!!

I'll have to give 'em a try. I saw some on their web site, for my state. Not the areas I'm interested in, but maybe I just saw their samples.

Lewis is top notch guys! I just got my latest disk from him today. He is fast and the maps are awesome. I owe some of my good finds to the maps he has provided! (Ps, this is not an ad ) He just has great service and I felt the need to speak up! Rich |

dr. jones.....been trying to recontact lewis with no luck....don't know what has happened.....saw a post where someone said these maps were available through the los angeles library for free.....got to checking in north carolina and they can be accessed through www.nclive.com for free but either way you have to have a current library card for the state.....possibly check into your states library system to see if they have a similar site where these can be accessed ,,,for free.......gldhntr |
