About Great River Arts: Great River Arts began its journey in 2006, specializing in restoring and painting historical French maps of the Mississippi River. Art collectors and interior designers were captivated by the subtle enchantment of these gently painted maps, and demand for restored and painted historic maps quickly spread across the country.

The historical map collection expanded into custom map services, catering to private estates, resorts, lakes, public lands, and regional attractions. Each map retains the vintage charm inspired by historic designs from the 1850s and earlier, incorporating authentic borders, cartouches, and fonts.

Every piece of art created by Great River Arts is the result of an in-depth, collaborative process involving cartographers, architects, colorists, and professional researchers. With a commitment to exploration and creativity, the team continues to produce original works while engaging in new map suggestions and collaborations. Operating from its home base near Glacier National Park, Montana, Great River Arts is constantly inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Stay updated on the latest maps and travels!
