Description
What is this shirt?
A heavyweight burgundy long sleeve tee with a full Black Hills regional map printed across the back. On the left chest, a hand-drawn cartouche. Up the right sleeve, the phrase “Wonder and Explore” set in hiking-trail tracks. Made by McGovern & Company, a national-parks apparel maker whose Black Hills collection lives in the BHPFA park stores.
The back map is the centerpiece. It shows the full Black Hills region with Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, the Black Hills National Forest, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, and the smaller landmarks people pick up after a few visits. It works as a souvenir of a single trip and as a wearable map for people who have spent time across the region.
The fabric is the part to notice. This is not a 4 oz souvenir tee. It’s a heavyweight 8.2 oz blend of 35% ring-spun US-made cotton and 65% polyester, heat-set to minimize shrinkage, side-seamed so it does not twist after washing, with taped neck and shoulders, a ribbed crewneck, and double-needle stitched sleeves and bottom hem. It earns its keep as a regular shirt back home, not just a vacation memory.
Size and fit
Unisex cut with a classic relaxed fit. Heavyweight 8.2 oz fabric drapes well and holds shape. If you are between sizes, size up. Women who prefer a closer fit usually size down one from their typical unisex size.

What the back map shows
The map covers the full Black Hills region across western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming. Named features include Wind Cave National Park (Hot Springs), Jewel Cave National Monument (Custer), the Black Hills National Forest (1.25 million acres covering most of the range), Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, and the road and trail network that connects them. The cartouche on the left chest carries the title in hand-drawn lettering. The right sleeve reads “Wonder and Explore” in a hiking-tracks motif that runs the length of the sleeve.
The map is decorative. It is not intended for compass orientation.
Who is this for
If you have spent time across the Black Hills, this shirt covers the whole region rather than locking you into a single park. The map design is the kind you wear back home and someone asks about, because it is not the standard four-color souvenir tee. The 8.2 oz fabric is heavier than most park-store shirts and reads as a real piece of clothing, not a giveaway.
The burgundy color works year-round. The long sleeve cut is the right pick for the shoulder seasons in the Black Hills: spring mornings on the prairie are cold, autumn evenings in Spearfish Canyon drop fast, and the caves stay around 53 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, which means a long sleeve is genuinely practical on a cave tour.
For gift buyers: someone who has visited more than one park in the Black Hills will read this as the full-region souvenir, not a single-site one. It pairs well with the per-park shirts for someone building a small collection.
Frequently asked questions
What does the back map show?
The full Black Hills region across western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming. Named features include Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, the Black Hills National Forest, Custer State Park, and Mount Rushmore, plus the road and trail network connecting them. The map is decorative, not for compass orientation.
What is the fabric like?
35% ring-spun US-made cotton and 65% polyester, heavyweight at 8.2 oz. Heat-set to minimize shrinkage, side-seamed so it does not twist, taped neck and shoulders, ribbed crewneck, double-needle stitched sleeves and bottom hem. This is a real shirt, not a thin souvenir tee.
What color is it?
Burgundy. One color only.
How does the sizing run?
Unisex cut, classic relaxed fit. Sizes S through 3XL. The size chart above lists chest measurements per size. If you are between sizes, size up. The 8.2 oz fabric has a substantial drape, so the fit reads slightly heavier than a standard 5 oz tee.
Where is it made?
The cotton is US-grown and ring-spun in the US. McGovern & Company is based in the US and produces national-park apparel for park stores nationwide. Specific shirt assembly location is on the garment tag.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry medium, no bleach.
Is this available at the park visitor centers?
Yes. BHPFA operates the bookstores and gift shops inside the Wind Cave and Jewel Cave visitor centers. This same shirt is stocked at the park stores when in season, and through this online shop year-round.
Does buying this support the parks?
Yes. Black Hills Parks & Forests Association is the official nonprofit partner of Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Scotts Bluff National Monument, and Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, as well as the Black Hills National Forest and Nebraska National Forests & Grasslands. Proceeds from every purchase support education programs, conservation projects, and visitor services at these sites. The map design includes Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park as Black Hills landmarks, but those sites are not BHPFA partners and have their own cooperating associations.
How long will shipping take?
BHPFA ships from South Dakota via USPS. Shipping rates are calculated by total order weight, starting at $7 for the first items. The 60-day return policy applies.
