Hi Rick,

She could try contacting the Museum of Moab:

http://www.moabmuseum.org/

‘The Museum of Moab houses a collection of more than 15,000 artifacts, photos, documents, and other original historical information from southeastern Utah. Some of these materials are on display and some are stored in the collections room and library at the Museum.’

Subject: Moab in the 1890's

Hi all,

I have a patron who is looking for a detailed map of Moab Utah from the 1890’s.  She wants to see buildings.  Good luck with that!  I wasn’t so blunt with the patron.  Anyway, there are no Sanborn maps before 1924, and the oldest map BYU owns of that region is a 1909 topo on which Moab is shown as a dot.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Rick Grapes
