The print

This is a high-quality print of a hand-drawn map on premium Archival Matte Paper - a thick, neutral white paper (230g, like card stock) with a smooth surface.

The frame

My frames are solid wood with an open-grain walnut veneer. By using veneers, I can provide high-quality, authentic wood frames while keeping costs down.

Each frame is 1 1/4" x 3/4":

Width: 1.25"
Depth: 0.75"
Rabbet: 0.50"

★ My maps come without glazing (clear covering). This way, they're visible in all lighting conditions and can be photographed from any angle without glare.

Note from the artist

Bitterroot Valley lies south of Missoula, flanked by the Bitterroot Mountains to the west and the Sapphire Mountains to the east.

Bitterroot Valley is home to the first European settlement in Montana, St. Mary's Mission. Nez Perce and other native tribes of the region used the Lolo Pass to access the Great Plains for centuries before European settlers arrived.

This map features the main sites of the Bitterroot Valley, including fire lookouts, observatories, St. Mary's Mission, homesteads, and alpine waterfalls.
