Heh, I'm a bit of a newbie to Maya, but from what I've seen it can do large scale outdoor pictures... but will it be your best option?

And I actually got the menu combination now -- (in the viewing window of whatever camera you want to increase the draw distance of)

View -> Camera Attribute Editor -> Far clip plane (set this value to the maximum draw distance of the camera)

As for Maya's outdoors capacities:
