Panoramic maps were a popular way to depict US cities during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Known as bird's-eye views, these maps were drawn representations of a city from an aerial view. While not drawn to scale, they generally depicted major landscape features, buildings, and streets.

The Clarke Historical Library has gathered the largest collection of Michigan bird's-eye views in the state. These views have been scanned to be made more widely available. Researchers wanting a reproduction of these images should contact the Clarke Historical Library.
