Xplorer Maps: Connecting People & Place

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.

As a registered Made in Montana family business and member of 1% For The Planet, Xplorer Maps donates a portion of all sales to non-profit organizations throughout the U.S., Canada, and Africa. They proudly help support these folks who are on the front lines dedicated to the education and preservation of our public lands and the wildlife within.

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 international education. The Xplorer Maps business and family adventures continue with regular visits back home to Toronto and Montana.
