California Central Coast State Parks Hand-Drawn Map

This 18” x 24” unframed lithographic art print features an original hand-illustrated story map of California’s Central Coast state parks, spanning from Gorda to Santa Maria. Created in pen and ink with watercolor by Xplorer Maps artist Chris Robitaille, the artwork captures one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in the United States.

Sweeping cliffs, coastal bluffs, hidden coves, and rolling inland hills define the nearly 350-mile shoreline. The map highlights communities such as San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, and Santa Maria, alongside iconic destinations including Hearst San Simeon State Park and Pismo State Beach. Inland waters like Lake Nacimiento add depth to the landscape, reflecting the region’s balance of ocean and foothill terrain.

Marine life — from migrating blue whales and sea otters to seabirds riding coastal currents — animates the Pacific horizon, while California condors and native wildlife reflect the area’s rich biodiversity.

Blending cartographic precision with artistic storytelling, this piece celebrates the wild beauty, recreation, and ecological significance of California’s Central Coast.
