The National Topographic Map Series of the U.S. Geological Survey includes several series of very useful maps at various scales. Also extremely useful is the Florida Department of Transportation's county highway map series at a scale of one inch to one-half mile. Maps that show property ownership and boundaries are usually obtainable at the county property appraiser's office. Sanborn and other fire insurance maps should not be overlooked for urban areas, and the Map Department, University of Florida Libraries has an excellent set of Sanborn original duplicate copies transferred from the Library of Congress. The Florida and Genealogy Collection at the Miami-Dade Public Library (see Archive, Libraries, and Societies) also has a microfilm collection of Sanborn maps of south Florida's major cities.
