American Panorama

An Atlas of United States History


American Panorama is an historical atlas of the United States for the twenty-first century. It combines cutting-edge research with innovative interactive mapping techniques, designed to appeal to anyone with an interest in American history or a love of maps.

More to come soon . . .

American Panorama is an ongoing project. In the coming months we'll be adding maps on urban renewal in postwar America, on presidential voting—with more to come after that.

Dedication

We are deeply grateful for the wise counsel and steadfast support that Kathy Monday has offered this project. It's impossible to imagine a colleague of greater integrity, generosity, decency, and kindness. We dedicate the initial release of American Panorama to her with admiration and appreciation.
