The maps can provide a wealth of information, such as building outline, size and shape, construction materials, height, building use, street and sidewalk widths, boundaries and house numbers. Commercial and industrial buildings often have ownership and land-use listings. Maps are available for Patchogue Village for 1884, 1891, 1897,1902, 1910, 1916, 1926 and select maps from 1926-1947.

Worth viewing and printing out for reference is the "Sanborn Maps Legend" located in the upper-left corner of the main screen. This contains a legend of symbols and markings common to all Sanborn maps. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view the maps.
