The Xplorer Maps North Carolina & Outer Banks Collection celebrates the beauty, history, and character of one of America’s most beloved coastal regions. Each hand-drawn map is created in the classic Xplorer Maps style by Co-Owner and Artist Chris Robitaille, featuring detailed illustrations, soft earth-tone palettes, and storytelling elements that highlight the places locals love and visitors return to year after year. From the lighthouses that stand guard along the Atlantic to the maritime forests, wild horses, barrier islands, and vibrant communities that define this coastline, every piece in this collection helps people feel connected to the places that matter most to them.
North Carolina’s rich heritage is brought to life through thoughtful artwork that includes iconic features such as the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Bodie Island, the Outer Banks Scenic Byway, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the many state and national parks that anchor the region. The Outer Banks portion of the collection captures the long stretches of shoreline, historic landscapes, and legendary stories that make OBX a destination unlike any other. Visitors often return home wishing they had a way to keep those salty breezes and warm memories close, and these maps are designed to do exactly that.
Whether you’re celebrating your favorite vacation spot, honoring your North Carolina roots, or searching for something truly meaningful, the North Carolina & OBX Collection offers timeless art pieces that fit beautifully in homes, cabins, beach houses, and offices. Available as wall prints, puzzles, tote bags, coasters, blankets, and other map-inspired gifts, these products make perfect gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, and host gifts or just to share a memory.
