The Library of Congress has a list of its holdings of Sanborn maps at
http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/sanborn/index.php. Currently we have
scans online for over 6,000 maps, and have completely scanned the out of
Copyright sheets for the following areas:
Alaska
District of Columbia
Mexico
Cuba sugar warehouses
Whiskey warehouses of the United States
These are all available via the website listed above.
We are gradually working on getting at least one city in every state
available, usually the state capital. With the wealth of Sanborn maps
in the Library of Congress, this will not be something that happens
quickly, but you will see additions over time. We also put up any scans
of out of Copyright sheets that were paid for by patrons.

Subject: Sanborn Maps for the 50 States
I was wondering how many states have digitized Sanborn maps for their
states.
