Texas: Lone Star State

Explore the grandeur of Texas with this original hand-drawn story map and gifts by Chris Robitaille. As the second-largest state, Texas became the 28th state in 1848, celebrated for its history as a former independent republic. The name "Texas" comes from the Caddo word “Tejas,” meaning ‘friends.’

From coastal swamps and piney woods to rolling plains and the mountains of Big Bend, Texas offers diverse landscapes. Highlights include the historic Alamo, San Antonio’s Riverwalk, Austin’s music scene, Fort Worth Stockyards, Houston’s Space Center, and the Gulf Coast.

Perfect as keepsakes or gifts, every purchase supports conservation efforts and the preservation of our public lands.
