Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps
The Vermont Historical Society provides access to a collection of digital Sanborn fire insurance maps from Vermont for the period 1867-ca. 1948 for its members. Sanborn maps show detailed footprints of buildings in settled areas of the state; they do not cover rural areas or indicate the names of residents.
These maps are viewable by our members. Use your e-mail address as your username and your membership number as your password.
