Sanborn Maps
Beginning in the mid 1800s, the Sanborn Map Company began creating the Sanborn Maps, originally used for estimating fire insurance liability. The information recorded in these maps generally includes streets, building outlines, building usage, and building materials. Today the Sanborn Maps have become an important tool for researchers.[1]

Note: Maps from 1931 exist, but are not public domain, and so are not available here. However, they are available online from various sources, but generally require paid access. If you have a USM Library account you can access them at http://lynx.lib.usm.edu/login?url=http://sanborn.umi.com/ Or the Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood Association currently hosts Sanborn Maps from 1890 - 1961: http://www.hattiesburghistoricneighborhood.com/sanborn-maps-hattiesburg-1890-1961/
