Custom maps

Not in the catalog? I'll build it.

If your city, neighborhood, or a specific area is not already a map, request it. I can model almost any city or town in the United States, from a downtown to a whole borough.

You approve a preview rendering before I make anything.

How a custom map works

Three steps, no surprises

01

Mark your area

Search your US city on the map and draw a box around the exact area you want. Move and resize it until it looks right.

02

I send you a preview

Before I print anything, I build a rendering and send it to you, so you see exactly what your map will look like and can change it.

03

Approve, and I make it

Once you are happy, I send over a custom map listing for you to make the purchase. I then print it in the size and edition you choose, frame it, and ship it, with the same detail as every map in the shop.

If you see "Access Blocked" messages on the map, you can safely ignore them — the tool will still work correctly. This is a known issue being addressed by the map provider.

Custom map questions

Good to know

How much does a custom map cost?
Custom maps are your standard map price plus $20. Essentials is $49.99 for 11 inch or $69.99 for 13 inch, and Premium 13 inch is $119.99. There is no payment when you send your request. You only pay once we have finalized your map.
Will I see it before it is made?
Always. I build a rendering of your map and send it to you to approve first, so there are no surprises. If something is off, I adjust it before printing.
How long does a custom map take?
Because a custom map is modeled from scratch, it takes a bit longer than a catalog city. Typically I say about two weeks with a chance of shipping it out sooner than that.
What kinds of places can you make?
Downtowns, neighborhoods, whole boroughs, campuses, and college towns. Custom maps are currently available for cities in the United States. A custom area looks best at about 1 to 2.5 square miles, roughly a downtown or a neighborhood.
Can I still choose size and water color?
Yes. Custom maps come in the same Essentials and Premium editions, sizes, and blue or black water as everything else in the shop.
