The beaches, mixed with traditional and exotic wildlife on the island, made the perfect canvas for this gorgeous and colorful Sanibel-Captiva Island map.
6000 years ago when Sanibel Island and Captiva Island joined, they created one of the best beach landscapes on the planet. Pillow soft white sands graced with an eclectic and broad range of gorgeous seashells make this now single island one of the most visited in the world.
This partnership project was officially unveiled in late November, 2013 at the 'Tween Waters Inn on Captiva Island. Xplorer Maps will be donating more than $30,000 over the next few years to CIHS to help with the construction of their new "History Room" located in the Captiva Community Center and to help further their ongoing efforts to preserve the unique culture and history of the islands. Currently only the Limited Edition Giclee prints are available and for only a limited time. Only 300 Limited Edition Giclees will ever be sold, so best not to wait!
The Sanibel-Captiva Islands Map is 24" wide by 18" tall.

A lot of map art is simply stock or "open source" imagery with a logo or small piece of custom art overlayed so that it can then be marketed as "original, custom, art". Xplorer Maps is different. Every single line, letter and image has been intricatey rendered entriely by hand. Each is unique and original to every new map we create. These maps are truly custom and 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 custom, unique and original piece of art that has been fully vetted for "educational merit, historical and geographic accuracy and cultural relevance.
