Dear Kay,

At the University of Pittsburgh, we have mounted G M Hopkins maps, which
are not the same as Sanborn Maps, but they contain quite a bit of
detail.  First, check out Historic Pittsburgh at:
 http://digital.library.pitt.edu/pittsburgh/

You can direct questions to [log in to unmask]

Hope this helps
