The streets you could still walk with your eyes closed.
Engraved city map with custom title and coordinates

Why a city

Some places you don't visit. You belong to them.

The corner store you walked to barefoot. The apartment with the radiator that clanked all winter. The park where you told them you were staying.

A city map isn't decoration — it's a quiet record of where a chapter of your life happened. Ten years later, the people who lived it still trace the streets with a finger and tell the story again.

We engrave the crop you choose, so the frame holds your neighbourhood — not a postcard version of the city.

What's included

Drawn around your details

Your exact crop

Set the centre, zoom and rotation yourself. What you frame is what we engrave.

Legible linework

Street hierarchy is redrawn by a designer so dense grids stay readable in wood.

Personalized

Title, subtitle, date and coordinates, plus markers for the addresses that matter.

We moved four times in eight years. This is the one address everyone still calls home.

Why people order one

The moments a city map gets ordered for

Most of these leave the workshop as gifts — usually for someone who would never buy it for themselves.

The first home

Keys in hand, boxes everywhere. The street they'll remember long after they've moved on.

Where you met

An anniversary piece engraved with the city, the date and the coordinates of the exact corner.

The town they left

For parents and grandparents — the place they grew up, drawn street by street.

A city that changed things

A year abroad, a first job, a hard season you came out of. Titled in your own words.

Up close

Detail you can run a thumb across

Every line is cut into solid hardwood — no printing, no stickers, no veneer.

Family owned, made in Canada

A family studio creating custom heirloom maps of the places that matter most.

What began as a shared passion for craftsmanship, design, and meaningful spaces became a way for our family to turn land, homes, ranches, lakes, cottages, and properties into lasting works of art. Every piece is custom designed from scratch by our team using detailed cartography, layered textures, and carefully refined engraving techniques to create maps that feel timeless and deeply personal.

We believe meaningful places deserve more than generic décor. Our work is designed to capture the character, story, and emotional connection behind a property, whether it is a family ranch passed through generations, a first home, a favorite lake, or land that shaped a family's history.

Each map is thoughtfully crafted through a highly collaborative design process and made to order with an obsessive attention to detail, materials, and presentation. No templates. No mass production. Every piece is commissioned and individually created for the customer it belongs to.

Crafted by the Ramsay-Evans family in Canada.
