Rocky Mountain National Park Hand-Drawn Map

This 18” x 24” unframed lithographic art print features an original hand-illustrated map of Rocky Mountain National Park, created in pen and ink with watercolor by Xplorer Maps artist Chris Robitaille.

Established in 1915, the park spans more than 415 square miles of alpine terrain, soaring peaks, glacial valleys, and subalpine forests. The map captures the dramatic elevation shifts of the Continental Divide and highlights Longs Peak, rising to 14,259 feet above sea level, along with the many summits exceeding 12,000 feet that define Colorado’s Front Range.

Ancient granite formations and carved glacial basins shape the landscape, while vibrant wildflower meadows and high-altitude tundra reflect the park’s ecological diversity. Wildlife such as elk, bighorn sheep, moose, and golden eagles are thoughtfully woven into the composition.

The region holds deep cultural significance, having been home to Indigenous peoples including the Ute and Arapaho long before its designation as a national park. Conservationist Enos Mills played a pivotal role in preserving this landscape, helping establish one of America’s most treasured wilderness areas.

Blending cartographic precision with artistic storytelling, this piece honors the park’s scale, history, and enduring legacy of preservation.
