Its not a Sanborn map...its a Land Lot map. I should have recognized it from the lack of buildings.From Leslie at DHC..."Yes! We do have those available for $5. They are actually not Sanborn maps but Land Lot maps (they don’t show the buildings like Sanborns). We are also reproducing historic maps from our archives such as a 1921 map of Atlanta and Suburbs and a 1905 plan for Druid Hills among others. The prices range from $45-$95 and we have some in stock while others require a two week turnaround time. As of right now, they can be purchased from the DHC office M-F from 10-4 and it is usually a good idea to call beforehand so we know you’re coming. If there is interest we’ll definitely look into getting them in a store nearby to make it easier for people to purchase them."Personally I think the map in a shop is a great idea...but I'm a history dork so take that for what its worth!

From Leslie at DHC…

Personally I think the map in a shop is a great idea…but I’m a history dork so take that for what its worth!

They have many different sizes/prices to fit your budget. Although they don't 'scream' Decatur, the city is mentioned on the label.
