DAKIN FIRE INSURANCE MAPS
Fire insurance maps, says Internet Scout Report, are an important
source of historical information about cities throughout the U.S,
and this delightful collection from the University of Hawaii offers
a great selection of these valuable documents.
Currently, the
collection contains 78 total maps of various urbanized areas within
the Hawaiian Islands. Most of the maps are focused on Honolulu and
they reveal the early stages of intense urbanization across the city.
The maps date from 1891 to 1906 and they feature a tremendous amount
of detail including information about local road infrastructure,
building footprints, and so on.
This resource will be of great use
to urban historians, geographers,
and others with an urban bent.
