Notes
  • Geographers often must spend a large amount of time and effort in obtaining adequate land use maps of the area they have under investigation. They should be particularly grateful, therefore, that, as a result of the mapping services of the Sanborn Map Company, most of the urban areas of the United States are reasonably well mapped. The company's present coverage includes maps and atlases for virtually every city, town, and village, as well as many unincorporated communities of the United States. The Sanborn map, with its detail concerning streets, lot lines, individual buildings, construction materials, utilization and height of buildings, all of which are designated by various symbols, offers the greatest detail of any comparable urban map.
