About Xplorer Maps
Xplorer Maps is a Montana-based, family-run company creating hand-illustrated map art inspired by national parks, coastlines, and meaningful places around the world.
Our Story
The Xplorer Maps journey began in 2010 with two brothers — a talented, globe-trotting artist and an entrepreneurial geographer and outdoor enthusiast — who had a mission to create uniquely hand-drawn, antique-styled story maps of national parks and travel destinations.
Their goal was simple: help create lasting and meaningful connections between people and places. Each map is illustrated by hand, packed with detail, and designed to feel like a keepsake — something that brings your favorite place closer, even when you’re far away.
As a registered Made in Montana family business and a member of 1% for the Planet, Xplorer Maps donates a portion of all sales to nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S., Canada, and Africa. We proudly support groups on the front lines of education and preservation of public lands and the wildlife within.
Sixty-plus illustrated maps later, the Robitaille brothers — with unwavering support from their partners, Julie and Ness — have found their stride. Storytelling and engagement through art has become their mantra. With a growing collection of accompanying map products, the options are limitless to help create high-quality, special memories for your family and friends.
