Why Topographic Maps Make the Best National Park Souvenirs

Most souvenirs gather dust — but not ours. At Map the Xperience, we design souvenirs that do something. Our full-color topographic maps aren’t just pretty — they’re practical, wearable, framable, and made for the trail.

Why topographic maps matter:

• They show the story of the land — ridges, valleys, rivers, elevation.

• They connect you back to places you’ve been — or dream of going.

• They’re functional for hikers, campers, and travelers.

• They spark conversation, curiosity, and memories.

From Bandanas to Wall Art: Whether it’s wrapped around your neck in the Smokies or hanging in your home office as a reminder of Glacier’s peaks, these maps are made to travel with you — or inspire you to return.

Here are 5 top picks from our National Park Collection:

National Park Map Bandanas – Wearable, breathable, and trail-tested.

National Park Neck Gaiters – Perfect for sun protection or cold mornings.

National Park Wall Tapestries – Bring Zion, Yellowstone, or Yosemite into any room.

Topographic maps are more than souvenirs. They're storytelling tools — and you’re the explorer.
