A New Chapter for MapArt

A New Chapter for MapArt

MapArt joins the Backroad Maps family

Backroad Maps is proud to welcome MapArt into its family of Canadian map brands.

This brings together two trusted names with deep roots in Canadian travel, exploration, and map publishing. Backroad Maps is known for detailed outdoor recreation, backroad, trail, fishing, camping, paddling, and adventure mapping, while MapArt has long served travellers, retailers, distributors, and map users with road maps, city maps, regional travel maps, and atlases.

MapArt will continue as its own brand and sales channel. Products are once again available on MapArt.com, with catalogue review and product updates ongoing.

Together, Backroad Maps and MapArt will help shape the future of Canadian print and digital mapping, from backroads and trails to highways, cities, and road trips.
