Digitally hand-drawn by a true master

Michael Karpovage created these maps for the avid traveler that believes in the preparation process. He revives the glorious and centuries-old style of birds-eye-view panoramic mapping by accurately depicting his illustrations in vibrant color and meticulous detail. And then he goes further by including relevant historical content and navigational elements. Think: beautiful, functional maps. This rare mastery of cartographic artistry, graphic design, and a passion for history make his maps bestsellers that virtually sell themselves. And why he is a highly sought-after expert in his field.

 

Sometimes Michael is literally digging in the field, too — for lost treasure, that is. His love for seeking history and adventure led to a very entertaining 3-book mystery thriller book series and the discovery of Confederate coins from a famous Civil War wagon train robbery.
