This wonderful old map of Yosemite National Park was originally published in 1941. It was created by Jo Mora.
The map is very vibrant and has comical illustrations dotted all across the map using the names of the landmarks, such as Mirror Lake or Clouds' Rest.
Yosemite became a national park in 1890 and is known for its waterfalls, deep valleys, granite monoliths and giant sequoias, with the tallest tree being 286 feet (87m) high!
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 24x30in (61x76cm), 32x40in (81.5x102cm), 40x50in (102x127cm), 48x60in (122x153cm) and 56x70in (142x178cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 70in (178cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40.5x51cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24x30in (61x76cm) map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of the United States of America as viewed by a Californian by Ernest Dudley Chase in 1940.
The locations on this map include: Mirror Lake, Vernal Falls, Merced River, Leaning Tower, The Three Graces, Cathedral Spires, Illilouette Falls, Sentinel Dome, Mount Broderick, Washington Column, Yosemite Falls, Eagle Peak and Half Dome.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in Yosemite National Park or someone who has visited California's Sierra Nevada mountains.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
