Animals have always been at the heart of the world’s most memorable landscapes, and at Xplorer Maps, we celebrate them through art. Each hand-illustrated design is created by Co-Owner and Artist, Chris Robitaille, whose intricate pen-and-ink drawings are brought to life with delicate watercolor washes. The result is a timeless and detailed portrayal of the creatures that roam our favorite destinations, from the majestic bison of Yellowstone to the playful dolphins of coastal waters.

Our collection of animal-focused illustrations is more than artwork—it’s storytelling. Every piece captures not only the likeness of the animal but also its role in the greater landscape and culture of a place. Whether it’s a soaring eagle, a curious bear cub, or a graceful sea turtle, these depictions remind us of the beauty and fragility of the natural world. They connect people to the destinations they love, sparking memories of travel, adventure, and exploration.
