Show moreThis collection contains large-scale maps of Vermont villages and cities produced to give fire insurance companies and underwriters accurate information about insured properties. The collection currently includes maps of communities in Chittenden and Franklin Counties that were published from 1869 to 1922. Maps from other Vermont communities will be added in the future.The detailed maps provide an important historical record of industrial areas, business districts, and some residential sections. Because most insurance maps were periodically updated and revised, they provide evidence of changes that occurred during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The colored 21 x 25 inch sheets show building footprints, construction methods and materials, size and number of floors, and uses. They also show streets, railroads, wharves and slips, property boundaries, street numbers, water systems and fire protection. Most map sets include an index sheet showing the mapped area and sheet numbers, a list of streets and addresses, a “specials index” of businesses and organizations, and a detailed key that lists the symbols used to indicate building features.
Original Vermont fire insurance maps, including maps published after 1922, are available in UVM Special Collections - http://specialcollections.uvm.edu/.
