Alaska State Hand-Drawn Map

While known for its diverse terrain of open spaces, amazing scenery, recreational activities, and small towns nestled into incredible landscapes, it is North America’s highest peak: Denali at 20,310 feet and the truly magnificent wildlife that captures our hearts and sparks our sense of adventure. From the soaring eagles and lounging puffins to the roaming grizzlies, polar bears and wolves to the sea-faring whales, sea lions and dolphins, whether by air, land or sea it would be hard to experience all of Alaska in a single lifetime. Xplorer Maps will donate a portion of all proceeds from the sale of this map to Alaska Geographic, one of our growing list of Public Lands Alliance partners.

The Alaska State Map is 24″ wide by 18″ tall.

Our Story

The Xplorer Maps journey began in 2010 with two brothers – a talented, globe-trotting artist and an entrepreneurial geographer and outdoor enthusiast – who had a mission to create uniquely hand-drawn, antique-styled story maps of national parks and travel destinations. Their mission was to help create lasting and meaningful connections between people and places.

Sixty-plus illustrated maps later, the Robitaille brothers (with unwavering support from their most amazing partners; Julie and Ness) have found their stride. Storytelling and engagement through art has become their mantra. With a growing collection of accompanying map products, the options are limitless to help provide high-quality and special memories for your family and friends.

About the Artist: Chris Robitaille

Chris Robitaille was born in Toronto, Canada, and graduated from the Ontario College of Art where upon graduation, he was awarded the Will Davies Award for Excellence in Illustration. His work in Toronto as a storyboard artist gave him a strong understanding of the importance of competent drawing and sound composition, elements that have been an integral part of his work over the years. Chris moved to Kenya in the early 1990s, turning his attention to landscape and wildlife oil painting. He has had dozens of solo exhibitions and his work hangs in numerous corporate and private collections worldwide. Since 2007, Chris, his wife Vanessa, and their children Max and Becca have lived in Suzhou; Abu Dhabi; Bangkok; and most recently Doha following a professional career in Ness in international education. The Xplorer Maps business and family adventures continue with regular visits back home to Toronto and Montana.
