Personally I'd like the info again also.

But, the problem is

The Day the Password gets Posted,
someone realizes it's gone Public & Changes it again.

Possably they Know by # of hits vs. # of paid users.
or average hits per day

I found a site while researching earlier this year that has access to the Sanborn maps. It requires no password. Just click and go. I will try to find that in my favorites and let y'all know.

Thank you for trying - Hey it doesn't have to be Sanborn - if there are any other free excellent
map sites I'd like to know about them. Argentium.

Argentium I can find a lot on the south west. The David Rumsey site is hepful.
http://www.davidrumsey.com/view/articles/maprank-search

I google a lot of the overlays that I do on my maps. When you see the image and click on it when its a sanborn map you can access the site its on 95% of the time. I have over 12000 maps. I am trying to take all the maps I can find on the areas I hunt and do a 3D map by overlapping them from the oldest I can find to present day. Problem is the older ones are not as correct as present day due to of course, current technology. So the older ones can be up to a mile off depending on the map.

The David Rumsey site you can search I will try and put together as many as I can find and send to you.
