Discovery Map® offers travelers a creative and informative way to explore top destinations throughout North America and Puerto Rico. Established in 1977, this brand has spent nearly 50 years helping tourists discover the best places to dine, shop, stay, and play.
Based in Waitsfield, Vermont, the company specializes in producing artistically hand-drawn maps that are as beautiful as they are practical. These distinctive guides provide a charming yet useful overview of each featured location.
Franchising began in 1993, opening the door for local entrepreneurs to introduce these maps to their own communities. Every map is crafted by residents who know their area inside and out—ensuring authentic recommendations and hidden gems only a local could suggest.
What sets Discovery Map® apart is this grassroots, hyper-local approach. By tapping into the deep knowledge of its franchisees, the brand delivers genuinely curated travel guidance that stands out from mass-produced alternatives.
