Description
What is the Black Hills wood sign?
It is a wall-mounted wood sign printed with a hand-drawn illustrated map of the Black Hills region. Xplorer Maps, a family-owned studio in Missoula, Montana, makes this. Artist Chris Robitaille drew the map. The design covers the Black Hills area in an earth-tone palette, with bison, elk, wildflowers, and regional landmarks worked into the illustration. The sign is 15″ x 10.5″ and comes pre-drilled so it goes on the wall without extra hardware.
The artwork is full-bleed, meaning it runs edge to edge with no white border. Xplorer has been producing illustrated map products for park stores across the country for years. The Black Hills version is specific to this region.

Who is this for?
Anyone furnishing a cabin, home office, or kid’s room with a Black Hills theme. It is a straightforward park-store gift that reads well as a souvenir or as home decor for someone who spends time in the region. The 15″ width is noticeable on a wall without being oversized.
It also works as a low-fuss gift. Pre-drilled, no assembly, ships flat. The illustrated style is warmer than a photo print and less generic than a mass-market “Black Hills” sign.
