Capitol Reef National Park Hand-Drawn Map

This 18” x 24” unframed lithographic art print features an original hand-illustrated map of Capitol Reef National Park, created in pen and ink with watercolor by Xplorer Maps artist Chris Robitaille.

Located in southern Utah, Capitol Reef is defined by the dramatic Waterpocket Fold — a nearly 100-mile-long wrinkle in the Earth’s crust that shapes the park’s cliffs, domes, and deep canyons. The map captures this sweeping geologic formation along with the vibrant sandstone layers that give the landscape its signature color.

Historic orchards, sustained by early settlers and still producing fruit today, add a surprising contrast to the surrounding desert terrain. Trail systems wind through slot canyons, high overlooks, and expansive desert valleys, inviting exploration across one of Utah’s most distinctive landscapes.

Wildlife including mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and native bird species animate the terrain, reflecting the park’s resilient desert ecosystems.

Blending cartographic precision with artistic storytelling, this piece captures the rugged geology, historic charm, and expansive beauty that define Capitol Reef National Park.
