There are countless DIY projects out there involving maps and those are simply in addition to just displaying them! I am a sucker for maps. I have always loved to travel and with every generation traveling a bit more than the one before, I think maps will only become increasing popular. Because of what people call travellust. So what do you do when you can’t travel as much as you would like? Just stare at maps, and make plans for one day. That’s what I do. We previously shared a very popular collection of vintage map printables, so we decided to add a few more of our favorites to your stash. Where are you traveling next?
Of course as I hunted for vintage maps, I came across some pretty fantastic ways to use them too!

Thank you so much for your beautiful prints. I have been looking for some maps to put on the top of my dad’s old desk and you have just what I was looking for!!! So excited. I tried to transfer a print once and it didn’t turn out so I can send a print to Office Depot to print for me. Again, thanks and I will let you know how it turns out!!!!!!!!!!!
We would love to see! You can send us photos here: https://www.remodelaholic.com/share-brag-post/
These maps are great! I want to print all of them. Then I just have to figure out where to put them. Thank you for making them available.
love these maps!!! what’s the best way to print larger versions? will a copy store print them?
Yes, most copy stores can print them if you’ll download them and take them into the store.
thanks so much for sharing this. I been looking for a map print for my son’s room and this are perfect. When you send them to print what paper print format do you use, matte, glossy, or normal?
I prefer matte personally, but it really depends on what you like (and if you plan to frame it) if you frame it then I might go glossy to get a brighter color saturation, because you won’t be able to tell behind the glass!
Hi would like it if you can help me I m trying to access the map with the ship. Gone onto amsteldam 1719 link but can find the picture. Please help my father would love this thanks
