A '''deep map''' is a map with greater information than a two-dimensional image of places, names, and topography.<ref>Roberts, L. (2016). Deep mapping and spatial anthropology. Humanities, 5(1), 5.</ref>
Some call the approach "vertical travel writing",<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Forsdick |first1=Charles |last2=Kinsley |first2=Zoë |last3=Walchester |first3=Kathryn |date=2021-04-03 |title=Vertical travel: introduction |journal=Studies in Travel Writing |language=en |volume=25 |issue=2 |pages=103–109 |doi=10.1080/13645145.2022.2051320 |s2cid=247868345 |issn=1364-5145|doi-access=free }}</ref> while archaeologist Michael Shanks compares it to the eclectic approaches of 18th- and early-19th-century antiquarian topographers or to the psychogeographic excursions of the early Situationist International.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mshanks.com/2012/07/10/chorography-then-and-now|title=chorography – then and now|date=10 July 2012|website=mshanks.com|access-date=31 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://documents.stanford.edu/MichaelShanks/51|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305085710/http://documents.stanford.edu/MichaelShanks/51|archive-date=2016-03-05|title=Deep maps|website=documents.stanford.edu}}</ref>
As used in the field of geographical information systems, deep maps have more kinds of information than 2D images with labels. They may have 3D information, census information, health or immigrant or education information; information on particular buildings, museum artifacts and where they are from, and the overall demographics of cities. They can link places to documents about their history. They can help support subjective descriptions, and narratives<ref>Bodenhamer, David J.; John Corrigan; Trevor M. Harris. 2015.

DOI: 10.2307/j.ctt1zxxzr2</ref> and as a storytelling approach they can help make complex and large-scale technical information legible and meaningful for local communities.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Butts |first1=Shannon |last2=Jones |first2=Madison |date=2021-05-20 |title=Deep mapping for environmental communication design |url=https://doi.org/10.1145/3437000.3437001 |journal=Communication Design Quarterly |volume=9 |issue=1 |pages=4–19 |doi=10.1145/3437000.3437001|s2cid=234794773 |url-access=subscription }}</ref> == Key references ==
