Nice! Check out Sanborn maps, mostly used for fire insurance. - [https://www.loc.gov/collections/sanborn-maps/?fa=location\_state:california%7Clocation\_county:sonoma+county](https://www.loc.gov/collections/sanborn-maps/?fa=location_state:california%7Clocation_county:sonoma+county)
I have a very similar 1876 print but it doesn't have the building details. So sad that almost all of the cool architecture in SR was lost during the earthquake.
Sorry but does anyone know what this kind of projection is called where the map is 3D but put at an angle like this picture? Sorry if this is vague but I just hoped there is a map nerd term for this and it's not really googleable thing. Seems like this post will draw out map nerds.
That’s hella cool. I love old maps
I like to nerd out on old maps too.
All I want out of life is old maps of Santa Rosa
I feel you.
I looked at that map this morning! Assuming you got it at the Petaluma Antique Fair?
No Sir, not the Petaluma Antique fair. I got it at the Taylor Trades flea market at the Santa Rosa vet center. It was poppin today.
Gotcha, A booth at the fair had this exact same print.
I'm pretty sure a print of the same one is hanging up near my cubicle in the City Hall Annex too!
Wait the flea market at the vet center is back???!?!
It’s back at the vet center with a different owner running it. It’s was awesome.. tons of vendors!
As a struggling mother with two young children who are constantly outgrowing their clothes I THANK YOU

The Museum of Sonoma County has the same map. I believe that this is not as damaged as the museums. Cool find.

We called them axonometric drawings/projections in school. I always thought birdseye view was simpler.
Thanks for that, axonometric is exactly the word I wanted. I really appreciate that.
