Home > Collections > Fire Insurance Maps of Vermont
This collection contains large-scale maps of Essex Junction, Vermont produced by the Sanborn Company from 1894-1922 to give fire insurance companies and underwriters accurate information about insured properties. The fire insurance maps provide a detailed record of the village’s development in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The village of Essex Junction was located at the intersection of major east-west and north-south roads and the junction of six railroads. The insurance maps show the residences, businesses, industries, public buildings, churches and rail yard in the village center. They also include industrial and power generation facilities located south of the village on the Winooski River. The colored 21 x 25 inch sheets show building footprints, construction methods and materials, size and number of floors, and uses. They also indicate streets, railroads and trolley lines, property boundaries, street numbers, water systems and fire hydrants. Each map set includes a detailed key that lists the symbols used to indicate building features. The 1910 and 1922 sets include an index sheet showing the mapped area and sheet numbers, a list of streets and addresses, and a “specials index” of businesses and organizations. 1928 and 1962 insurance maps for Essex Junction and Essex Center are available in UVM Special Collections.
