Very nice work. The map I ordered is the largest Wonderland map Paper Cairns offers and the printing is very clear and easy to make out all the little details . I ordered the maple frame. It has very clean miter cuts. I used hard locking mounts for my installation but the frame does come with mount points on the sides near the top. They look very solid and should provide for a solid installation. The shipping was quick. It showed up by FedEx within a couple days and it was well protected. Highly recommended for those that want a display quality contour map of Mount Rainer.

Fun and Great Memories! Working with Josh was a truly enjoyable experience - he has a true love for the mountains and understood how to build a beautiful and narrative description that captured the essence of our exciting trip to the summit of Mount Adams.

In Fall of 2021, my wife and I ran a R2R2R. We're old and slow, so it took us 25 hours, but we loved every minute of it. Thanks for such a wonderful product to help us remember our trip. We often look at the route and say, "Remember, this is where we...." The quality is great, the information around the outside is fantastic, and the red line showing the trail makes this map unique. A great souvenir!

I hiked this route, south to north, in September 2013. Great quality map. I love the small details; elevation at north and south rim, total miles, etc. A wonderful way to memorialize what was an amazing experience.

Process
I use precise digital elevation models (DEMs) to create shaded relief for every valley, ridge, peak, and river, which I add to vintage 1:24,000 topo maps from the United States Geological Survey. These historic maps were originally printed on a lithographic press and field-checked on foot, and they give each print a natural, authentic feel.
Commission a Personal Map
If I don't have a map for a trail or place you love, you can commission a personal map. You can also vote for the next map.
Legal Disclaimer
My maps are for illustrative purposes only. Although almost all the natural features are accurate, historic USGS maps are of varying age, reliability, and resolution, glaciers and routes above treeline change frequently. These prints should not be used for navigation, land ownership claims, or up-to-date information about public access.
Great experience designing a custom map and the results were outstanding!
