Steve Staples was an insurance appraiser who evaluated Arkansas towns and their ability to withstand disasters. He looked at the number of fire stations, fire hydrants, fire resistant materials used in the buildings, and street access to the factories and other structures. Staples used Sanborn maps, as well as city and county maps in his research.
This collection contains Sanborn maps and city and county maps of Arkansas. Many contain handwritten notes.
