Baja - Where the desert meets the sea

Framed topographic map of Baja Mexico on a wall with decorative vases below.

Baja and the Gulf of California

Coloured so you can almost feel the sand stuck in your contacts and the salt stinging your eyes.

Oh!?! Is that a teenager in a military uniform, with a big gun, waving for you to pull over?

Did a pelican just fly by?

Are you gonna get sick from eating that?

This Baja map is perfect for sailing trips, surf trips, and those mysterious van trips some of you do.

Canada Post Strike

  • USA: No concerns. US maps are printed and shipped in the US using USPS (*free*) or couriers, so no extra fees like customs/duty/tariffs and no effect from the strike.
  • Canada Urban(ish): No concerns. If you live somewhere that gets courier service your order will ship *free* with UPS.
  • Canada Remote + PO Boxes: Current orders are trapped in the postal service. Existing and New orders will make it through eventually with the new rotating strike.

  • “Every time friends visit someone starts a story and ends up pointing at the map. It’s such a good way to hear about everyone's adventures"

  • “The colours are great. Definitely feels like the coast feels. One of the first things guests notice in my kitchen”

  • “Unroll one of these maps in front of someone who's worked on the water and sit back and watch the show. You'll hear some absolutely wild stories"

Made by a Waterperson

I'm Courtney, a marine cartographer, lifelong waterperson, and the mind behind every map you see here.

This business started at a lighthouse. The maps were made at anchor on my sailboat. I promise you that a robot did not make these maps. The work is real: wind-swept, timed between tides, and salty AF.

I'm not a design agency. Just one cartographer with a mission:

Help waterpeople tell better stories and plan better adventures.

These maps are different

⚓ Ocean-inspired design
Made from a mariner's perspective. These maps start at the shore; where the land ends and your stories begin.

⚓ Made by a fellow waterperson
Crafted by someone who lives at sea. Designed on a sailboat. Launched from a lighthouse. Maybe I’ll see you out there?

⚓ Starts conversations
Whether it’s your kid or your crew, pointing to a place on the map beats saying, “somewhere up the coast.”

⚓ Looks damn good
Nautical precision meets wall-worthy design. Rugged enough for your nav station, beautiful enough for your living room.

⚓ Gallery-quality Prints
Vibrant, detailed, and professionally printed on premium archival paper.

More than a Map • A Way of Life

Crafted for Ocean Lovers
The only maps designed by someone who knows and loves the coast, for those who want to keep it front and center every day.

Makes a Unique Gift
Perfect for sailors, boaters, paddlers, and anyone who lives for the coast.

Art Meets Adventure
Each map is designed to be useful, beautiful, and meaningful.

Blogs and Stories

Stories, grit, and adventure from the salty part of the map.
