Abstract: A folding map is formed of a single sheet which is folded in an alternating accordion-like fashion. A plurality of panels are defined between the folds, each panel having a map portion and an information-bearing portion. The panels are of decreasing width so that the information-bearing portion of each panel are visible when the map is completely folded. The map can further include a key printed on the front panel, and a color-matching system and/or a mark system which facilitate location of a desired area on the map.
