Fire Insurance Maps

What are Fire Insurance Maps?

"During the period 1865 to 1900... surveyors and map publishers prepared fire insurance maps and atlases, ...principally of urban areas in their immediate locale. New Jersey cities in particular seemed to invite such cartographic activity. Arnois, Spielman and Company, which subsequently merged with Charles B. Brush, issued insurance atlases of Hoboken, Jersey City, and Hudson County. Reimer and Olcott published an atlas of Orange, New Jersey, and Scarlett issued pertinent volumes for Essex and Mercer Counties, the Jersey coast, and the cities of Harrison and Kearny. From 1872 to 1873 William A. Miller published insurance maps of the New Jersey cities of Elizabeth, Paterson, Plainsfield, Rahway, Union, and West Hoboken." from Fire Insurance Maps in the Library of Congress

Fire insurance maps in our FIMO database are available in some cases through the 1960s.
