Sanborn Maps

joe_dirt · Feb 4, 2013

I recently found an old post on here of someone giving the link to the Digital Sanborn Maps site. They also gave a username and password to access the site. They no longer work and I can't figure out who the site is meant for, nor can I find how to sign up to access the site. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

It is a subscription based service. You may find access through your local(big city) library or university. I've seen a good number of older posts on a few forums re: trial subscriptions being offered, but that seems to be a thing of the past.

Someone was about to give me access to the maps through their institution but then realized that by doing so would have basically given me the "keys to the kingdom" so it never happened.

oldusmaps.com will provide access to members only. Identify your user name and contact email and Lewis will help out any one.

Go to your public library's website or go there in person. They should have access to it.

The reason these pieces no longer work is, they were not intended to be free access. Someone from Sanborn probably did a search a long time ago, saw people were giving free access, and beefed up security. From what I can tell from reading this thread, you have to have some sort of institutional access. What this means precisely, I'm not sure. College or Library maybe?

contact oldmapman@gmail.com and I will get you into the system if you can keep from telling someone else about it. My web is oldusmaps.com where I list all of the sanborn maps that I have access to.

looks like your attempting to sell maps that are free :/

I have found if you go to your local library and get a card you can access your library's online database and sanborn maps will be there. Does anyone know where the maps that were removed from the database went? Anything old on A.C.O.E. land is not there...

what state and county? Do you have an area name for example you can share Im not sure what your looking for so I can't tell whats missing or if it is missing maybe just refiled under something else?
