Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps were developed for insurance companies in order to value properties based on type of businesses (some might be more prone to fire, like a restaurant) as well as residential areas. Although they were used for professional purposes at the time, these maps now are used for historical research. Some specific buildings might be marked, but most will either be marked with generic terms for the business, or residential for homes, usually as abbreviations.

The Library of Congress Sanborn Maps have the benefit of being in the original colors of the Sanborn maps. The section "About This Collection" will help you interpret the colors and symbols found on these maps.
