Mapping the Coast of the Continental United States

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 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 to the Canadian borders with Maine and Washington state. 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 40 maps with over 1300 miles of coastline and some of our larger islands including the Florida Keys. Next is California with 8 maps covering 840 miles of coast. I enjoy the coast of California and the Channel Islands offshore Santa Barbara are great, where I fished and scuba dived for abalone, lobster and scallops in my 20s. Several more recent trips have been dedicated to our maps, meeting with friends who live on the coast. 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 review is 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. Many feature lighthouses with rich nautical histories, including local maritime museums which are interesting to visit.

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. Without them this project would have never happened. We are very proud of our maps and how well they are received, hanging on walls around the world.
