The Most Detailed Mapping of Long Beach's Built Environment Over the First Half of the 20th-CenturyThe present massive 3-volume Long Beach Sanborn fire insurance atlas, containing approximately 241 map sheets, is remarkable for documenting immense changes to the city's built landscape over nearly half a century (1914-1957).
