The Sanborn map collection consists of a uniform series of large scale maps, dating from 1867 to the present depicting the commercial, industrial, and residential sections of some twelve thousand cities and towns in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The maps were designed to assist fire insurance agents in determining the degree of hazard associated with a particular property and therefore show the size, shape and construction of dwellings, commercial buildings, and factories as well as fire walls locations of windows and doors, sprinkler systems, and types of roofs.

No Binding. Condition: See Description. Sanborn Map Company / 1916 (updated to Sept. 1929) / [ Redondo Beach Fire Insurance Atlas] Redondo Beach Los Angeles Co. Cal. (Safe 4, 97315) Original hand-color. Unbound, with sheets mounted on alternating tabs. 19 maps, including the index page. Complete. Pastedown updates to September 1929. Old repaired horizontal tear to the index sheet (paper tape on verso). Some moderate crinkling and dust soiling to the map sheets. Else quite clean. Ink stamp of the Liverpool & London Globe Ins. Co., Ltd. Redondo Beach in 1929 Redondo Beach Los Angeles Co. Cal., produced by the Sanborn Map Company in 1916 and extensively updated in September 1929, provides a detailed mapping of Redondo Beach during the early 20th century - particularly as a document of the massively changing urban landscape between 1916 and 1929. This fire insurance atlas, comprising 19 sheets, was originally made as a specialized tool for insurance company underwriters in determining the degree of fire risk associated with any property shown therein. It offers rich visual insight into the built environment of the city, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the area's urban evolution at a time when automobile-focused infrastructure systems began to dominate the Southland. In the 1920s, Redondo Beach emerged as a quintessential seaside destination along the Pacific coast. Located southwest of Los Angeles, it transformed from its earlier reputation as a bustling port to a recreational haven. The decade saw the construction of the opulent Hotel Redondo, which became a magnet for tourists and Hollywood elite seeking sun, surf, and relaxation. The city's iconic pier, already an attraction since the late 1800s, was frequented by anglers, tourists, and locals alike. As the Jazz Age unfolded, Redondo Beach's sandy shores, dance pavilions, and oceanfront attractions encapsulated the era's penchant for leisure and pleasure, mirroring the Roaring Twenties' broader cultural zeitgeist. The atlas encompasses a breadth of information, ranging from the prevailing western winds to the intricacies of the city's water supply system maintained by the California Water Service Company. The gravity system for water distribution is documented alongside the complex framework of the fire department. This department was composed of both volunteer and full-time personnel. The atlas also provides insights into building classifications, indicating materials used in construction and their fire-resistance capabilities. The color-coding system categorizes structures based on their construction material, aiding in the identification of fire risks. Such detailed annotations underline the importance of safety standards during that era. A selection of the structures depicted include the following: Associated Oil Company Beryl Heights Public School Central Public School South Public School The Casino Hotel Redondo Hotel Clifton Sea Gull Inn Cafe Montgomery & Mullin Lumber Co. Redondo Beach Bath House Redondo Motor Car Company Southern California Edison Co. facilities Vincent Park (the area along El Redondo and nearby streets particularly rich with pasted updates of dozens of new dwellings) In sum, Redondo Beach Los Angeles Co. Cal. is an unparalleled record of Redondo Beach's infrastructure and urban layout during the early 20th century. It offers a clear picture of the growth processes in the 1920s, urban development, and safety standards that shaped the community during that time. Rarity The Redondo Beach Sanborn atlas is very rare in the market. The only other example of the September 1929 update we can trace is held at California State Northridge. Not a single example of any Redondo. Map.

The Most Detailed Mapping of Long Beach's Built Environment Over the First Half of the 20th-Century The present massive 3-volume Long Beach Sanborn fire insurance atlas, containing approximately 241 map sheets, is remarkable for documenting immense changes to the city's built landscape over nearly half a century (1914-1957). The respective pasted-in updates having been dutifully inserted by Sanborn Map employees over the course of 38 dated visits, as indicated in the update log of each volume. Various index updates are also included in the opening pages of each volume. This 3-volume atlas includes information on Long Beach's urban layout, water facilities, factories, Signal Hill oil district, industrial buildings, providing a detailed representation of the city's infrastructure systems during the first half of the 20th century. Executed with a scale 50 feet to an inch, the atlas shows nearly every building in Long Beach, with block-by-block, street-by-street, structure-by-structure, color-coded representations. Use of each structure is given: dwelling, grocery, storage, lumber yard, movie theater, church, hardware, etc., often recording the name of the individual business owner. Color coding denotes building material (yellow for frame structures, tan/brown for fireproof buildings; red for brick, blue for stone, and the like). The first volume includes a special WWII-era notice printed in red ink citing the U.S. Espionage Act, referring to the need to keep information concerning properties related to National Defense activities strictly confidential. Further stating: Tracings or other reproductions of Sanborn Maps in full or in part are prohibited. The Growth of Long Beach After a faltering start in the 1880s as an agricultural colony (originally named for its founder, William Erwin Willmore), Long Beach eventually grew into the second largest city within present Los Angeles County. Early attempts at developing the area, such as the California Co-Operative Colony, which operated by a subscription system whereby shareholders bought a $140 share of stock entitling them to a business or residential lot in the proposed town, did not pan out well. The big impetus to developing Long Beach finally came with the discovery of oil in Signal Hill in the 1920s. Signal Hill City is well mapped in the present atlas set, as is part of neighboring Lakewood. From 1914 to the 1950s (the timeframe covered by the atlas volumes), Long Beach experienced significant growth and transformation, becoming a nexus of economic and cultural activity in Southern California. During this period, the Port of Long Beach expanded, evolv. Book.

The Sanborn map collection consists of a uniform series of large scale maps, dating from 1867 to the present depicting the commercial, industrial, and residential sections of some twelve thousand cities and towns in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The maps were designed to assist fire insurance agents in determining the degree of hazard associated with a particular property and therefore show the size, shape and construction of dwellings, commercial buildings, and factories as well as fire walls locations of windows and doors, sprinkler systems, and types of roofs. The maps also indicate widths and names of streets, property boundaries, building use, and house and block numbers. They show locations of water mains, giving their dimensions, and of fire alarm boxes and hydrants. Sanborn maps are an unrivaled source of information about the structure and use of buildings in American Cities. The collection includes some fifty thousand editions of fire insurance maps comprising an estimated seven hundred thousand individual sheets. The Library of Congress holdings represent the largest extant collection of maps produced by the Sanborn Map Company. The majority of the maps were acquired by the Library through copyright deposit, but the collection was substantially enriched in 1967 when the Bureau of the Census transferred to the Library of Congress a complete set. The 1,899 loose-leaf binders were particularly noteworthy because they included later editions than those previously acquired by the Library. The Bureau of the Census set of maps had been regularly updated by printed, paste-on corrections supplied by the Sanborn Map Company, whereas the Library of Congress copies were retained in the form in which they were copyrighted.
