The Indiana State Library has a new
resource, Fire Insurance Maps Online (FIMo).
It contains Sanborn, Baist, and other
insurance maps for over 300 Indiana cities and towns covering the mid-1880s to
mid-1960s. The best feature is that you can put in a modern address or
geographic coordinates and it will show you what maps are available for that
location and allow you to overlay the historic map over modern Google
imagery. You can then download images to a flash drive or print
them.
This subscription resource is only available on
location, but the trip to the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis is worth
the trip!
Nice explanation and I learn something new information on that content. So, thanks for sharing this great information.
