From the ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings to the snow-capped and rugged Rocky Mountains, Colorado is a historic and geographic national treasure.
An organized territory in 1861, Colorado was admitted to the union in 1876 by Ulysses S. Grant as the 38th state, and, given its exactly 100-year span from the signing of the Declaration of Independence, is known as the “Centennial State”.
From high plains and alpine mountains to low deserts and deep canyons, Colorado’s diverse geography provides many landscapes and environments for a plethora of wildlife and a recreational playground for humans. From buffalo roaming on the open plains to Red Rocks Amphitheater to the history of the Native American cultures, the Xplorer Maps Colorado map has a little something for every adventurer.
Also available printed on Mugs, Coasters, Notecards and more.

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.
