Santa Catalina Island Hand-Drawn Map

This 24” x 18” unframed lithographic art print features an original hand-illustrated map of Santa Catalina Island, created in pen and ink with watercolor by Xplorer Maps artist Chris Robitaille. Located 29 miles off the coast of Los Angeles, Catalina’s 76 square miles blend rugged cliffs, turquoise coves, and rolling interior hills. The map captures the island’s distinctive geography, from Avalon in the south to Two Harbors in the north, connected by the scenic Trans Catalina Trail. Along the coastline, destinations such as Descanso Bay, Parson’s Landing, and Lovers Cove reflect Catalina’s reputation for crystal-clear waters and coastal adventure. Landmarks including the Wrigley Memorial, the historic Catalina Casino, and the Airport in the Sky are thoughtfully woven into the composition. The island’s layered history — from the Pimu Tongva people to Spanish, Mexican, and American stewardship — is reflected in the cultural landscape and place names throughout the artwork. Catalina’s biodiversity brings life to the map, featuring blue whales, sea lions, flying fish, roaming bison, and the endemic Catalina Island fox. Blending cartographic precision with artistic storytelling, this piece celebrates the island’s natural beauty, maritime culture, and adventurous spirit.
