I'm looking for links to online Sanborn Fire insurance maps or similar type maps. The Everett Public library has a digital on-line collection that is open to everyone online, and I found a collection in South Carolina too, but it's difficult to find links to other online collections that offer so much historical railroad information.
I don't know that this link will help you very much since you must have an account, user name and password in order to access to database. Here it is anyway:

That's a good idea- Here is the link to the digital on-line Sanborn Fire Insurance maps for Everett, WA. As soon as I re-locate the link to the one in South Carolina, I will add that one too.
I went to the Sanborn map site, but it requires that the person belong to an approved institution and get the necessary permissions from Pro-logic??
Anyway, here is the link to Everett, Wa's Sanborn maps for 1914 smf 1955. If anyone has additional links, please add them to this thread.
