Sanborn Basemap Imagery?

JustinJohnston — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 18:26:16 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, map service? We are working on a historic survey of southwest PA that we would like to be able to view these historic maps as basemaps or add the rasters to our mapping to show different years. Since it is for a large area, it would be a lot of work for me to go about downloading individual rasters and georeferencings etc. Hoping there is a service somewhere.

Cheers,

Justin

Justin - not knowing exactly where you're looking in southern Pennsylvania, but in the Catalog Pane, I clicked the cloud icon (ArcGIS Online) and searched for Sanborn Pennsylvania. I did get some results for Bellefonte, State College and more. See below -

Hi Robert,

I had done a similar search. I am looking for basically all areas of Greene, Washington, Westmoreland, and Fayette Counties.

Cheers,

Justin

For Washington County, you can find Sanborn Maps here

For Westoreland County, you can find Sanborn Maps here

For Fayette County, you can find Sanborn Maps here

And lastly Greene County is here

My suspicion is you'll have to download the maps of interest, georeference them and write out a world file for the jpg or tif. But it should work. Now the key is do these links have the coverage you require?

That is the level of effort I was hoping to avoid by finding a map service or a series of already georeferenced rasters. Will take me a while to go to that effort.

Cheers,

Justin

Understand. I did find this URL that is for Sanborn Maps but I can't get it work...sadly. Doesn't seem to be an authoritative source rather a hodgepodge of links, etc...
