About Great River Arts: Great-River Arts began its journey in 2006, specializing in restoring and painting historical French maps of the Mississippi River. Art collectors and interior designers were captivated by the subtle enchantment of these gently painted maps, and demand for restored and painted historic maps quickly spread across the country. The historical map collection expanded into custom map services, catering to private estates, resorts, lakes, public lands, and regional attractions. Each map retains the vintage charm inspired by historic designs from the 1850s and earlier, incorporating authentic borders, cartouches, and fonts. Every piece of art created by Great River Arts is the result of an in-depth, collaborative process involving cartographers, architects, colorists, and professional researchers. With a commitment to exploration and creativity, the team continues to produce original works while engaging in new map suggestions and collaborations. Operating from its home base near Glacier National Park, Montana, Great River Arts is constantly inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Stay updated on the latest maps and travels!

Discovering the Mississippi River: As expeditions led by Lt. Zebulon Pike and 1805, and General Lewis Cass in 1820, had arrived in Minnesotas far north too late in the season to reach the Mississippi River headwaters, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft was commissioned by the American Government to treaty with natives in the area and to determine the true source of the Mississippi River. Guided by the Chippewa natives, he was the first person of European descent to see the lake he would name Itasca in mid July of 1832. Naming the Mississippi River: Schoolcraft came up with the name Itasca by linking together the last four letters of the Latin word veritas and the first two letters of the Latin word caput. Veritas is truth; caput is head. Therefore, Itasca stands for the true head (waters) for the Mississippi River. In 1836, yet another explorer was sent to confirm Schoolcrafts conclusion. Jean Nicolas Nicollet declared in his journal that the longest of the streams that feeds Itasca, now known as Nicollet Creek, was truly the infant Mississippi according to geographic rule. Schoolcrafts Lake Itasca remained uncontested, however, as the official sourse of the Mississippi River. Origin of Capt. Willard Glazier Source of the Mississippi Headwaters Map, 1887 It was not until 1881, 45 years after Nicollets expedition that Glazier began exploring the lakes and streams that comprise the headwaters of the Mississippi. You hold in your hand the map laid down to illustrate his journey of exploration by canoe which began July 12,1881 from Brainerd, Minnesota. According to Glaziers journal (which some have dismissed as largely fabricated) Lake Itasca is fed by Lake Glazier which in turn is fed by three creeds, one of which is fed by tiny Lake Alice. This high quality LIMITED EDITION photographic print was made from a one of a kind hand printed reproduction for the original black and white map. The original hand-painted reproductions of many antique maps are available from Great River Publishing. Due to nature of our product line the exact sizes may vary!
