We are developing a set of synoptic image maps compiled from daily photometric images taken at the San Fernando Observatory. Our initial maps show the progression of solar features across the central meridian for approximately one solar rotation. The red continuum maps show the photometric contrast of solar features in the photosphere while the Ca II K-line maps show the same in the lower chromosphere. Comparing these maps with each other, and with those of other solar groups, will yield information regarding the evolutionary patterns of solar activity at different heights of the solar atmosphere. This is a first step toward a comprehensive set of synoptic maps covering the period from mid-solar cycle 22 in 1988 to the present.
