Makes a perfect gift or cherished piece for map enthusiasts and history lovers About Great River Arts: Great River Arts began its journey in 2006, 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, which led to a growing demand for restored and painted historic maps across the country. The historical map collection soon evolved into custom map services for private estates, resorts, lakes, public lands, and regional attractions—all showcasing the vintage charm of earlier works, incorporating borders, cartouches, and fonts inspired by historic maps from the 1850s and earlier. Each piece of art produced by Great River Arts is the result of a collaborative process involving cartographers, architects, colorists, and professional researchers. With a passion for exploration and creativity, the team continues to create original works, actively pursuing new map suggestions and collaborations while working from the road and a home base near Glacier National Park, Montana. Great River Arts remains committed to crafting timeless map art and sharing its journey with audiences everywhere. About the Driftless Region Map: The unglaciated region of western Wisconsin, northeastern Iowa, northwestern Illinois, and southeastern Minnesota is a natural and beautifully sculpted landscape that is known as the Driftless Area. The area is considered “Driftless” because it was not shaped by the movement of glaciers thousands of years ago. A part of the attraction to the region is the forested hillsides that extend into deeply carved river valleys that cut into limestone bedrocks. A key feature that makes the Driftless Area a unique place is the Baraboo Range, comprising of a collection of monadnocks- huge masses of rock rising up out of the middle of a plateau. The Driftless Area is a strange combination of plateau, deep river gorges, sinkholes, bluffs, and monadnocks. The Driftless Area covers about 20,000 square miles, which primarily extends into western Wisconsin-roughly 85 percent. The landscape has plenty of caves, notably Viroqua City Cave and Cave of the Mounds, and the most rugged part of Driftless Wisconsin is the Ocooch Mountains. In southeastern Minnesota the Driftless Area begins at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. This region is defined by vegetation of mixed woodland, goat prairies, and old plateau covered by loess. The Minnesota River cuts across the Driftless Area. In Driftless Iowa the landscape is of forested valleys, streams, rivers, and majestic limestone bluffs. In Illinois, rolling hills and wooded ridges, and features such canyons, ravines, bluffs makes up its portion of the Driftless Area. The Driftless Area’s forests, prairies, wetlands, and grasslands provides ideal habitat for wildflowers and wildlife. Farming continues to be an activity that thrives in the Driftless Area. Unique soil conditions and higher elevations are ideal for growing particular crops. Amish farmers have long situated themselves in the region, but a new breed of organic farmers has emerged in Driftless. Wisconsin in particular, has expanded into a hotbed of organic farming. The Driftless Region is also ripe for fishing for a variety of trout including brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout. Whitetail deer and wild turkey, ring-necked pheasant, along with other games such as ducks and geese, grouse, quail, mourning dove, rabbit, squirrel, raccoon, fox, and coyote can all be hunted in specific portions of the Driftless Area.

The Camino de Santiago de Compostela is an extensive network of ancient pilgrim routes that span across Europe, with common starting points in St Jean Pied de Port, France and Roncesvalles, Spain. The routes end at the pilgrimage site of the tomb of the apostle Saint James the Great in Galicia, Spain. The English translation of the «Camino de Santiago de Compostela” is the “Way of St James of Compostela.” Between the 10th and the 12th centuries, the pilgrimage was popular, but gradually declined because of wars, epidemics and natural catastrophes, and by the 20th century, the routes were no longer traveled. Fast forward to the late 1970s and early 1980s, the routes once again sparked the interest of some, which led to their recovery and resurgence. While the routes have great spiritual value, in contemporary times, it has gained important social, tourist and cultural significance. The Camino Francés and routes of Northern Spain are the two most popular of the four main routes, the other two being the Camino Portuguese and the Via de la Plata. The Camino Francés (The French Way), one of the oldest and most popular routes, stretches for nearly 500 miles from St. Jean-Pied-du-Port near Biarritz, France to Santiago. It has three major routes: the Voie de Tours, the Voie de Vezelay, and the Voie du Puy. The terrain features woodland paths, small rural roads and lanes that goes through pastures and villages, and sandy footpaths alongside roads. The Camino Portuguese (The Portuguese Way) is another popular route on the Iberian Peninsula, that extends for 140 miles. The trail starts in Lisbon, but Porto appears to be the preferred starting point. This route has windy roads up and down hilly, rural areas, featuring delightful sceneries, and forests scattered with pine and eucalyptus trees. Stretching for roughly 512 miles, El Camino del Norte (The Northern Way), begins on the French border in Irun, along the Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias. The terrain is a mix of rugged yet blissful coastline, rivers entering the sea, majestic mountains, humid valleys, along with thick forests, asphalt roads and green hills and pastures. The Via de la Plata (The Silver Way) is the longest of the routes, and starts from Seville in Andalucia, and runs northwards to Salamanca and Zamora, while the shortest of all the routes is the El Camino Inglés (The English Way), with a starting point on the north coast at Ferrol or A Coruña. The Camino de Santiago De Compostela might be ancient in origin, but it still offers great opportunities to enjoy spiritual, cultural and nature-filled experiences. «Sizes are approximate» Full refund if returned in original condition within 14 days.
