No single map can guide your visit to the Palo Alto area because of the complexity of navigating the Stanford campus. Online mapping sites do a particularly poor job of mapping Stanford in part because of the lack of street addresses and the number of non-vehicular roads and paths. We recommend against relying on these sites, or on GPS mapping devices.

We've assembled what we think are the most useful maps of the area:
