Re: Sanborn maps
Dear Mr. Logan:
Your question has been referred to the Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division for a reply. A "D" or somtimes "Dwg" on a building on a Sanborn map usually denoted a dwelling as opposed to a "S" for a shop.
Sincerely,
Kathryn L. Engstrom
Reference Team Leader

Does anyone on the list familiar with the Sanborn maps know what the "D" on
many of the depicted structures stands for? A patron asked and I cannot find
a mention of its purpose on the map key. You can reply off-list.
Thanks
Kevin Logan
