A Hysterical Map of Zion National Park, created by the Lindgren Brothers in 1939 and drawn and lettered by Jolly Lindgren, bursts with bright, buoyant color and a comic sensibility perfectly tuned to the interwar love affair with the open road. Zion’s signature monuments—Angels Landing, the Great White Throne, the Watchman, the Three Patriarchs, and the Temple of Sinawava—are rendered in bold, simplified forms and annotated with wry, speech-bubble-like quips. A playful “Four Bell Picture” compass keeps orientation lively while guiding the eye along canyons, mesas, and the meanders of the Virgin River. Whimsical labels, including the sort of gleeful wordplay that christens peaks with tongue-in-cheek names, turn a classic landscape into a cheerful narrative.
Historically, this map embodies the democratization of the American park experience in the 1930s, when highways and tunnels brought once-remote wonders within reach of everyday motorists. Chief among these feats is the Zion–Mt. Carmel Tunnel, completed earlier in the decade, whose inclusion signals a new east–west gateway that redefined visitor flow. Lindgren’s legend translates roads, trails, bluffs, and water into quick-read symbols, fusing practical wayfinding with levity. The tone mirrors the era’s roadside attractions and travel ephemera, yet it also records a pivotal shift: parks no longer reserved for the hardiest explorers, but beckoning families piloting streamlined cars through freshly engineered switchbacks.
Geology becomes theater in these panels and vignettes. The Virgin River slices through the canyon toward the Temple of Sinawava, while the Streaked Wall and the Altar of Sacrifice display the famed banding and iron-stained faces of Navajo Sandstone. A charming color chart inset celebrates the palette of the plateau country—creams, rusts, and rose—and the map’s vector-like exaggerations make complex strata instantly legible. North and South Guardian Angel Peaks stand sentry over the high country; Sentinel Peak and Mystery Mountain lend drama to the skyline. Even the occasional gag name, like a jovial “Mt. Moron,” underscores the map’s guiding principle: educate by delighting, so that topography, trails, and viewpoints imprint themselves with a smile.
Cultural memory threads through the humor. The appearance of the Mukuntuweap River nods to the area’s earlier designation as Mukuntuweap National Monument (1909), a name later changed when Zion National Park was established in 1919. That historical echo places the map at a crossroads of identities—indigenous place names, Latter-day Saint settlement history, and federal conservation. Springdale, the welcoming gateway town, anchors the canyon’s mouth, while the pioneer-era community of Grafton along the Virgin River hints at tenacious human lives lived beneath towering walls. Across the scene, biblical and visionary toponyms—The Watchman, Three Patriarchs, Great White Throne—reflect a nineteenth-century naming tradition that the 1939 cartoon vernacular recasts with affectionate wit.
Jolly Lindgren’s hand-lettering and jaunty pictorial style belong to a celebrated series that turned western parks into storybooks for the glove compartment. Here, jokes double as mnemonic devices, and the carefully keyed symbols keep the traveler oriented even as the eye wanders through vignettes. The result is more than a souvenir: it is a time capsule from the golden age of auto tourism, when new roads and tunnels unlocked Zion’s cliffs for a burgeoning middle class. Equal parts guide and grin, it captures the optimism of the late 1930s and preserves, in luminous color, the canyon’s icons—Angels Landing, the Great White Throne, the Watchman—as destinations both sublime and joyfully approachable.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 90in (230cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, check out my collection of the best old maps to see if something else catches your eye.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
