I have compiled a list of states that have Sanborn maps online and Idaho
is one that is not available.
You may want to try someone who has the Sanborn Maps subscription by
Proquest but I believe the maps are in black and white and not in color.
You may want to check with the University of Idaho in Moscow to see what
their Sanborn holdings are. They now make map plotters that can scan, as
well as, print and copy. If they have such a plotter, they might be able
to help you.

I am not a member of Maps-L, so any response should be sent to the list
and to
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>

This is an information request I have from my brother, Frank, of Spokane
Washington – hopeful someone on the list can let us know where he should
go for what he is seeking; thanks!:

I'm trying to find a way to access the digital Sanborn Fire Maps for
Idaho. I have a password for Montana, and my library has access for
Washington, but not Idaho.

The reason is I'm researching the track layout and location of buildings
for the Northern Pacific railway in Wallace Idaho in the 1930's.

Hard to find this information, and the USGS maps do not show much detail.
