After nearly 20 years of making modern wall maps of the United States coastline, we’re proud to announce the completion of our collection covering the entire, contiguous, continental US coast – from Maine to Florida, around the Gulf coast to Texas, then up the Pacific coast from San Diego to the San Juan Islands north of Seattle!
It’s been an epic project in some respects since I personally go to every state and coastal area we map, involving dozens of trips around America’s shoreline from the Canadian border with Maine and to the Washington border by Vancouver. The new collection includes over 70 maps as featured in samples below, all of which can be produced in blue tones and antique colors. People we work with across America love our maps and some states have more than others. My home state of Florida includes dozens of maps with over 1300 miles of coastline featuring some of our larger islands including the Florida Keys. California includes 8 maps covering 840 miles of coast. I enjoy the coast of California and the Channel Islands offshore Santa Barbara where I fished and scuba dived for abalone, lobster and scallops in my 20s, before the islands become a national park. Many trips from New England and down the east coast have been dedicated to our maps, meeting with friends who live on the coast and others who contribute detailed area informaton. They check the maps with local knowledge which is another aspect of the project, we always work with people who actually live there to review the maps. No matter where I go, local reviews are a must.
Each of the 21 states along the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are unique with beautiful beaches, inlets, bays, rock formations, islands, kelp beds or coral reefs. They also feature lighthouses, towns and prominent geographical features along the coast.
Please enjoy the maps we’ve worked so hard to produce. My team includes a group of talented individuals who draft, check, edit and ship maps all over the U.S. and the world. We’re very proud of our maps and how they’re displayed on walls around the world.
