Released in August, 2010, our second illustration is a tribute to America’s centennial celebration of our nation's 10th National Park. Similarly hand drawn in the artist's unique and masterful old world style, yet quite different with its vibrant images of Glacier's incredible flora and landscapes, the Glacier National Park map highlights the region's colorful history, unique geology and magnificent fauna.
This unique map illustration has been approved by the Glacier Association for historical and geographical accuracy, cultural relevance, and is officially endorsed for sale within all GNP boundaries and affiliated retail outlets.
The Glacier National Park Map is 18" wide by 24" tall.

A lot of map art is simply stock or "open source" imagery with a logo or small piece of unique art overlayed so that it can then be marketed as "original 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 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 unique and original piece of art that has been fully vetted for "educational merit, historical and geographic accuracy and cultural relevance.
