Zoar Village Pictorial Map

Pictorial maps (also known as illustrated maps, panoramic maps, perspective maps, bird’s-eye view maps, and geographical illustrated maps) depict a given territory with a more artistic rather than technical style. It is a type of map in contrast to a road map, atlas, or topographic map.

A pictorial map can tell a story, a historical tale, or be a unique lens through which one can experience a special place. An illustrated map can be loose and hand-drawn, filled with fun drawings and doodles that together make a sometimes inaccurate but always spot-on record of a memory or a place from one’s own perspective.
