Here are some maps of Troy from 1929. They show in pretty good detail the existing building, how they were heated, and whether they had electricity. These maps came from the Sanborn Fire Insurance Company. They operated from the 1800’s to 1929. We are trying to locate the original books from Troy. They are very large and are leather bound. These digital maps came from the University of Idaho.

These 1929 maps are not the only maps available. There are other years and other pages. They can be found through the University of Idaho Library, Moscow, ID. Most of them are on microfiche. Apparently, Sanborn Fire Insurance Company was pretty big back then and they insured entire towns. They had a very detailed mapping system for an insurance company.
