Anyone happen to know the current user ID and password for Sanborn? It was Proquest and welcome but that has expired now.

Thanks,

Where are you? In Georgia it is here: http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/sanborn/?Welcome

Try this google seach: (your state) Sanborn login example.... Georgia Sanborn login

or: (your state) Sanborn fire maps

It works, I just googled "Michigan Sanborn Fire maps" without the "" and got this: http://guides.lib.msu.edu/page.phtml?page_id=248

Nope, it didn't work for Mich, needs a password. I think you'll be able to get one from your local library or community college.

Some are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanborn_Maps (at the bottom of the page)

Good luck

I think there have been some changes lately other than just a password. I used to try to find a hacked password and get in that way. Now I can do it totally legitimately. In many states, you'll have to check where you live, the library systems have purchased the rights to access the maps but they are for that state only. I live in Washington State and I use my library card # and my password that I have for the library and I access all the Sanborn maps for this state right from home. A while back one had to go to the local library to do that.
I haven't figured it all out yet, but one can overlay the Sanborn map on the aerial photos available in Google Earth. That's a major advantage when researching possible site near where you hunt. Jim

If you don't have access to a university library, you won't find too many of these fanatically detailed and carefully coded building-by-building Sanborn city maps on line.
