Description: The panoramic map was a popular cartographic form used to depict U.S. and Canadian cities and towns during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Known also as Bird’s-Eye Views, panoramic maps are nonphotographic representations of cities portrayed as if viewed from above at an oblique angle. Although generally not drawn to scale, they show street patterns, individual buildings, and major landscape features in perspective. The Library of Congress has over 1,500 panoramic maps. Panoramic maps give a pictorial record of Anglo-America’s cities during the post-Civil War period and for many localities provide the sole nineteenth-century map. No other graphic form of this era so effectively captured the vitality of America’s urban centers. Image was reproduced by Connecticut River Press in Newington, CT on acid-free paper and stored in a moisture-controlled environment.
