map

Maps of cities and towns giving details of construction and fire protection, made by the Sanborn Map Company--formerly used more commonly than today. Fire insurers kept such map records in their offices to indicate the location and other details of their insured risks in order to prevent undue concentration in a given building, city block, or area.
