Imagine flying high over your favorite landscape. Your view cuts through the haze, revealing an incredible variety of shapes and forms all laid before you in perfect detail and clarity. Despite this novel perspective, you are able to orient yourself and identify important landmarks instantly. This is the idea behind panoramic maps.

Designed to be viewed as large format prints, panoramas provide us with intuitive overviews of entire geographic regions. Click on the thumbnails to explore some interactive digital versions of these spectacular images.

Prints of these images, including the brand new panorama and elevation profile of The John Muir Trail, are available online.
