Terrain360 is a Richmond, Virginia mapping studio. We capture rivers, trails, and public lands in survey-grade 360°, then build the maps that put that work in front of the public, for the agencies and groups who steward these places.
Terrain360 started with founder Ryan Abrahamsen and a hunch: the same 360° tech behind Street View could pull people toward the outdoors, not away from it. He took it to the TEDxRVA stage in 2015.
What began as a way to wander a trail from your chair is now survey-grade documentation of thousands of miles of America's rivers, trails, and public lands, built with the National Park Service, NOAA, and partners nationwide. Same hunch, a lot more ground covered.
A curated collection of work with the agencies and organizations who steward public land, each project capturing landscapes in survey-grade 360°.
Missouri's 240-mile Katy Trail, the longest developed rail-trail in the country. The first 36 miles are captured in 360°, with live trail conditions and a ride planner at bikethekaty.com.

With the Iowa DNR, we mapped 78 miles of river and every public access point using 360° imagery and drone photography to expand access and awareness.
With NEORSD and OHM Advisors, we built 360° maps of waterways, streams, culverts, and bridges to aid inspection and maintenance, with the main stem open to paddlers.
A National Park Service collaboration documenting one of the country's most biodiverse rivers in immersive 360°.
