Near-infrared spectral mapping from the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) instrument has played a vital role in driving our understanding of the surface and atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan. VIMS' ability to peer through the atmospheric haze allows it to both image the surface and to obtain reflectance spectra, constraining its composition. In this poster we present processed maps and orthographic projections of individual mosaics from each of the 44 close Titan flybys in the primary mission: Ta through T44. We utilize two color schemes, one designed to highlight surface features' spectral contrasts, the other to delineate atmospheric features. We will also show metadata regarding the dataset as a whole and the present state of synthesized global surface maps.
