Contact seller5-star sellerhardcover. Condition: very good(-). Atlas. Lithograph with original hand coloring. Massive elephant folio. Decorative calligraphic titles, indices, and key maps. Contains a set of 90 maps along with changes recorded on paste-on correction slips through 1974. Quarter leather binding with gilt title on front and spine. This volume… includes part of South Jamaica, the Long Island Railroad split of the Main Line and the Montauk Line, and a Queens neighborhood reference inset. 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.

A few leaves with paperclip rust stain at fore-edge; a few leaves separating from binding with increased wear at fore-edge. Two (of 2) 1960 index pages (first leaf loosely inserted) and one (of 2) 1950 index pages. Complete with 97 maps (1 index map and 96 numbered maps). Miami Beach Mapped at an Unparalleled Building-Level Scale.This is an impressive and very rare fire insurance atlas devoted exclusively to Miami Beach, issued just six years after incorporation and capturing the city at the dawn of its transformation into a resort metropolis. Though marked Volume One, this atlas encompasses the full extent of Miami Beach proper, from Government Cut in the south to the Surfside line in the north. A second volume, issued later, extended coverage to Indian Creek, Bal Harbour, and other newly developed tracts north of the city limits.Sanborn atlases combine large scale (generally 50 feet = 1 inch here) with a uniform symbology that distinguishes every building by structural material, floor count, use, window type, hydrant location, and dozens of other risk variables. In a young city dominated by wooden hotels and speculative frame bungalows, these sheets offered underwriters a granular portrait of fire vulnerability while simultaneously chronicling the emergence of Art Deco Miami in the 1930s and the high-rise resort culture that followed World War II.RevisionsSanborn atlases are built to evolve. Each plate begins as a fixed base map, hand-colored to show every structure s material, height, use, and fire vulnerability. Over time, changes were not redrawn but layered on through pasted slips applied in the field, one on top of the next, rendering the atlas a tactile record of architectural and urban change. In this example, 28 separate revisions (nos. 24 51) were applied between April 1945 and February 1962. Together they document the massive reconfiguration of Miami Beach: the filling and subdivision of Biscayne Bay, the overlay of modern concrete hotels on 1920s bungalow grids, and the Cold War militarization of the southern tip.This layering tantalizingly means earlier versions remain just beneath the surface. Slips often leave edges exposed, and in some cases, holding a sheet to the light reveals the ghost of a vanished streetscape, hinting at the city s prior incarnations. The result is a working object of extraordinary richness, in which the physical form of the atlas mirrors the palimpsest of the city itself.RaritySanborn atlases were printed in small runs for commercial use and routinely discarded when obsolete. The Library of Congress has a few editions of the atlas. And OCLC records a 1921 edition ("sheets 1-12") at the University of Florida. Book.

Co., Ltd. Redondo Beach in 1929Redondo 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 CompanyBeryl Heights Public SchoolCentral Public SchoolSouth Public SchoolThe CasinoHotel RedondoHotel CliftonSea Gull Inn CafeMontgomery & Mullin Lumber Co.Redondo Beach Bath HouseRedondo Motor Car CompanySouthern California Edison Co. facilities.

The Most Detailed Mapping of Long Beach's Built Environment Over the First Half of the 20th-CenturyThe 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 BeachAfter 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 e. Book.

hardcover. Condition: very good. Atlas. Lithograph with original hand coloring. Massive elephant folio. Decorative calligraphic titles, indices, and key maps. Contains a set of 76 detailed maps along with changes recorded on paste-on correction slips through 1974. Quarter leather binding with gilt title on front and spine. Large… tear to spine of original protective canvas cover. This volume includes the area between Rockaway and Lefferts Boulevards, and also shows the widened Woodhaven Boulevard and the Long Island Railroad intersection. 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.
