Named after a small town in England, Boston played a central role in American history!
Originally founded in 1630 by Puritan settlers, Boston was part of the original 13 colonies and quickly emerged as a major seaport and manufacturing hub on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. It also played a huge role in the American Revolution and Revolutionary War.
Boston has become a symbol of American consciousness and culture over the centuries and is synonymous with so many important “firsts” in American history: 1st public park (Boston Common 1634); 1st public school (Boston Latin 1635); 1st public library (1834); 1st subway system (Tremont Street 1897); and 1st marathon (1897) among dozens of others.
Today, Boston is the economic engine and cultural hub of New England as well as the destination for more than 20 million visitors annually who are drawn to its unique and rich history; cobblestone streets and diverse neighborhoods; cultural and sporting events; prestigious higher education institutions; and modern galleries, shops, and restaurants.

A lot of map art is simply stock or "open source" imagery with a logo or small piece of custom art overlayed so that it can then be marketed as "original, custom, art". Xplorer Maps is different. Every single line, letter and image has been intricately rendered entirely by hand. Each is unique and original to every new map we create. These maps are truly custom and one of a kind!
The medium used by world-renowned illustrator Chris Robitaille for these hand-drawn maps is pen & ink with multiple layers of watercolor washes. Depending on the depth of detail in the map being rendered, the actual art process takes anywhere from 5-8 weeks.
The end result is an entirely custom, unique and original piece of art that has been fully vetted for "educational merit, historical and geographic accuracy and cultural relevance.
