California State Map 1883 USGS Map
We love old maps. Their coloration, typography, legends, notations, and sometimes even outdated place names all have a nostalgic quality that gives them a special beauty. If you share our love for vintage maps, you’ll appreciate this 1883 State Map in our Historic Series. In remastering maps for this series, we go to great pains to clean them up, eliminating stains, stamps, handwriting, and other signs of map aging. We then rework them into easily framable sizes and bring out the richness of their colors and details. Because we print them on fine archival paper and canvas, all their original beauty shines through. Browse our extensive collection of parks, cities, states, and more. It’s like traveling in a cartographic time machine.
Made in the USA
We consider our maps to be works of art, so we print and frame them accordingly. We offer two choices of print surfaces: fine-art archival paper and stretched canvas.
Every map is custom printed. We have no inventory. Only when we receive your order do we produce your print on our 12-color giclée printer, using top-quality archival inks that will never fade.
Fine Art Paper-Our archival paper is museum-quality, 100% cotton, acid-free, and certified to last 100 years. This assures sharp details, true colors, and exceptional durability.
Canvas Gallery Wrap-If you prefer a frameless look, order your map on stretched canvas, which offers a bit more depth and texture. We use archival canvas, gallery-wrapped and varnished, stretched onto a 1.5-inch-thick wood frame.
Reclaimed-Wood Frame-Handmade in Michigan utilizing wood salvaged from a historic mill in Detroit, that is oiled to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. The frames have a 1.75" face and 0.75" rough-cut sides.
Black Frame-For a cleaner aesthetic, we offer a simple matte black wood frame with a 1.25" face and 1" sides.
The map I bought was printed on high quality paper. The packaging was also of a very high quality in order to protect the print en-transit. I was most impressed with the care taken to get the print to me in the best condition possible. I will be back as a customer.
My experience was great and the map I ordered exceeded my expectations.
I recently purchased the CA State Map as a Christmas gift. It arrived within 5 days. For the price, I was a little worried about the quality however it is awesome. Well done Muir Way!
Such cool maps, great frames. I love how they're expanding heir product line. Awesome, fast, reliable, human customer support team. Quick to respond. No complaints, only praises here
I'm absolutely in love with our California State Map 1883, of the california redwoods. We had it framed in the natural wood and it compliments the blues of the map perfectly. I also placed the order a day before Xmas Eve and worked with the artist to have it delivered next day. So amazing!!! Best holiday gift ever!
