If you love Pennsylvania history, genealogy, unique decor or exploring how towns once looked over 100 years ago, you're going to enjoy this. We’ve added over 15,000 old maps to our Pennsylvania collection that include:  Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, vintage Birds Eye view maps, and more old maps from Pennsylvania from the late 1800s & early 1900s.

Sanborn maps were originally created to assess fire risk for insurance purposes, but today they offer an incredible look into the past: coal towns, steel and iron industry centers, mills, early suburbs, river communities, rail yards, and Main Street business districts — all captured in remarkable detail. Basically Google Maps a century ago!
