About Us

At ModernCarto, we use a unique process combining modern mapping technology with digital artistry to create high-quality, ultra high-resolution cartographic wall art - or wall maps. We combine expertise in data science, geographic information systems (GIS), 3D modeling and graphic design to produce beautifully realistic and navigationally accurate wall maps of iconic locations.

We are a Canadian based digital design team, with our products printed and shipped from a state-of-the-art production facility in Minneapolis, MN.

Our main focus is restoring vintage historical maps, and enhancing them in 3D using real-world high-resolution elevation data collected via satellite, creating a unique eye-catching 3D aesthetic on a 2D poster style wall print. Our meticulously crafted artwork brings to life the elevation, topography, terrain, sunlight, and shadows in a detailed and realistic manner, while retaining the charm and nostalgia of the original historical map.

We also make other types of wall maps in a similar 3D style, including more modern up-to-date maps, National Parks, and satellite imagery. Our unique artwork provides a stunning addition to any room, and makes the perfect personalized gift for any map, travel, history or art lover. Browse our collections to see more of our products.

We are always updating our collections with new and exciting locations! To learn more about our artwork, our creation process, and ordering from us please visit our FAQ's.
