A defining feature of the park - the Waterpocket fold, with its combination of wide ranging elevations and precipitation, coupled with the diverse geology and topography, allows 85 vegetation associations to exist. Of the 887 plant species that occur in the park, 40 are designated rare and endemic plant species, and six are federally listed as threatened or endangered. The Claret Cup Cactus, Narrowleaf Yucca, Prince's Plume and the Two-Needle Pinyon Pine are just a few featured in the map. Detailed depictions of landmarks and geographic wonder like the Lower Muley Twist Canyon, Capitol Gorge and Hickman Natural Bridge also dot the canvas. The incredibly diverse landscape also supports a plethora of animal life from Desert Big Horn Sheep to the yellow-bellied marmot to the blunt-nosed leopard lizard; all of which are gorgeously illustrated on this amazing and awe-inspiring landscape of the Capitol Reef National Park Map.
The Capitol Reef National Park Map is 18" wide x 24" tall

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.
