Fire Insurance Maps as an Urban Exploration Resource

As I mentioned previously Flickr user Manitoba Historical Maps's fire insurance maps from 1957 are incredibly detailed. What makes them really interesting from an urban exploration perspective is that they show the tunnels under and between buildings.

Here are a selection of tunnels I found which might still exist and be accessible;

Riverview Health Centre

Saint Boniface Hospital

Mulvey Warehouse

Saint Boniface Aquaduct
