Morris Corinson was born in Poland. He immigrated to the U.S. and arrived in San Francisco in the 1850s. Morris' son, Jacob,
later joined with Arthur H. Sanborn to form the Sanborn and Corinson Civil Engineering and Surveying Company. Following the
1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, the company prepared surveys to help rebuild the city.
