About Terrain360

We harness innovative technology to revolutionize exploration, asset management, and policy-making, bridging the digital and physical realms to foster a deeper understanding of natural landscapes.

Origin

A long road from one idea in Richmond.

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.
