The Sanborn Fire Maps |
|
|
There are several series of these maps. As Newport grew, it took more maps to cover the town. They're available from 1886 (27 maps); 1910 (when it took 86 maps to cover Newport); 1910-1950 (97 maps); and the 1910-1953 Republished series of maps (98 maps). Some of the later maps also include Dayton, Bellevue, Fort Thomas and Alexandria. They're copyrighted, and while I question the validity of a 100 year old copyright, I've nevertheless elected not to post them in their entirety for you. The good news is that they are all online and you can get to them. You'll need a password. You can get a free password either with your membership in the Kentucky Historical Society ($35 per year), or your library card from the Mary Ann Mongan Library, which is the public library in Covington.
