For nearly a century and a half, Gallup Map Company has been telling the stories of the land through the art of map making. This multigenerational cartography company that has occupied Kansas City for well over a century has now put a unique twist on home decor using the decades of maps in their archives.
Cartography is the art of map making, and for over 145 years Gallup has been a Midwestern leader in the field, providing beautiful and useful maps of Kansas City and beyond. From pocket maps to full-sized wall maps stretching from floor to ceiling, they have an intimate knowledge of the craft of artmaking. Now they have turned to making maps for the home by way of lake and city map artwork printed on canvas. One of Gallup's latest releases is a classicly styled canvas map of Lake Eufaula. This scenic Oklahoma gem joins the ranks of Grand Lake and Lake Texoma in Gallup's rich catalog of map art.
Lake Eufaula canvas maps feature the lake and surrounding territories, along with the title and a historical statement, finished with thier signature compass rose. They are designed both in material and in style to be a legacy piece, handed down through your family.
“We take pride in creating the highest quality maps, which is reflected in the materials used to make your map” says Patrick, the company's owner. He continues saying that their maps “look and feel like art, and will be enjoyed by your family for generations.”
Lake maps are a wonderful, special kind of home decor. They are frequently a conversation piece, and a doorway to memory lane that is a great piece to feature prominently in a lake home. Every lake has a deep and rich history with millions of stories, and now Gallup has provided a daily reminder of those stories for your home.
Being printed on heavy 20 mil canvas with 100-year lightfast inks gives them the longevity to be an heirloom piece. Since they are printed on canvas, there are several mounting options such as gallery wrapping the canvas for a clean presentation, hang on wood and twine for a rustic look, or frame for a more classic and refined finish. There are two size options of Lake Eufaula canvas maps for different sized spaces.
