Local Spots round maps
Our Local Spots collection is the easiest way to give someone a beautifully made map of a place they love. These compact round wooden maps are ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, thank-you gifts, housewarming presents or a reminder of home.
Each map is designed and made in our Sligo workshop using layered wood to show the shape of the land and sea. The round format gives the maps a clean, contemporary feel while keeping the focus on the place itself.
Choose a Local Spots map if:
- You want a thoughtful gift under €100
- The place is already in our collection
- You want something easy to wrap, post and display
- You like the modern round format
- You want to add a brass pin or engraved message
Good gift examples
A Local Spots map works especially well for:
- Someone who has moved away from home
- A favourite beach, bay, lake or island
- A family holiday place
- A wedding or anniversary with a local connection
- A Father's Day gift
Best for larger gifts and home artwork
Medium maps
Our Medium Maps are a strong choice when you want the map to feel more like a piece of wall art. They have more presence than the smaller round maps and are especially suited to homes, hallways, living spaces and special occasions.
They are often chosen for wedding gifts, anniversary gifts, family homes, milestone birthdays and places with a deeper personal story.
Choose a Medium Map if:
- You want a more substantial piece of artwork
- The map is intended for a home or main living space
- You want a more detailed representation of your favourite place
- You want more visual impact than a compact gift
- The occasion is significant
- You want the place to feel like the centrepiece
Good gift examples
A Medium Map works especially well for:
- A couple’s favourite coastline
- A family home place
- A special island, lake or mountain area
- A milestone birthday
- A retirement gift
- A new home gift with a lasting connection
Best for statement artwork and high-impact interiors
Large HD
Our Large HD Maps are designed for customers who want a map to become a major feature in a room. These pieces show more detail and carry a stronger visual presence, making them suitable for statement walls, offices, boardrooms, hotels, hospitality spaces and premium gifts.
They are best suited to places with strong emotional or visual significance, especially where the landscape itself has drama, depth or recognisable terrain.
Choose a Large HD map if:
- You want a high-impact piece of artwork
- The map will be displayed in a larger room
- You are buying for a premium occasion
- You want more detail and scale
- The place has strong landscape features
- The area you want is already designed
Good gift examples
A Large HD Map works especially well for:
- A statement piece in a home
- A coastal or mountainous region
- A premium retirement or milestone gift
- Corporate office artwork
- A place with a strong connection to a family, company or community
Best for one-off places, homes and heirloom pieces
Bespoke Commissions
If the place you want is not in our collection, or if you want something created around a very specific story, a bespoke commission may be the right option.
Bespoke maps allow us to look at the landscape, scale, composition and personal details in more depth. They are suited to customers who want something truly individual: a family home place, a corporate commission, a special island, a full county, a coastline, or a combination of places that would not work as a standard product.
Choose a bespoke commission if:
- You cannot find the exact place in our current collection
- You want to mark a home, route, business location or personal landmark
- You want a larger or more complex map
- You are buying for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion
- You want to discuss the best way to represent a flat, inland or unusual landscape
- You are buying for a company, building, office or client project
Good examples
A bespoke map works especially well for:
- New home commissions
- Corporate artwork
- Family legacy pieces
- Retirement gifts
- Custom county or multi-location maps
- Large-scale coastal or island maps.

Add a personal detail
Many Outcrop maps can be made more personal with a small added detail. Depending on the map, this may include a brass pin to mark a house, venue or meaningful location, or an engraved message on the back.
This is a simple way to turn a beautiful map into a more personal gift.
Good for:
- Wedding venues
- Family homes
- Holiday houses
- Favourite viewpoints
- Retirement gifts
- Anniversary messages
- Memorial places
- Corporate locations
How to choose by place
Sustainable by design
Made to last, not made to be disposable
Every Outcrop map is designed as a lasting piece, not a throwaway gift. Our materials and packaging are chosen with care, from FSC-certified wood and bamboo to water-based finishes and plastic-free packaging.
Questions before you choose
For most gift buyers, a Local Spots Round Map is the best starting point. It is compact, meaningful and available at the most accessible price point. For bigger occasions such as weddings, anniversaries or milestone birthdays, a Medium Map may feel more substantial.
A Local Spots map is smaller, round and designed around specific favourite places. A Medium Map has more wall presence and is better suited to larger gifts or home artwork.
Yes. Depending on the product, you may be able to add an engraved message, a brass pin or a more bespoke detail. For more complex requests, it is best to send a custom enquiry.
Send us a custom enquiry. We can create maps of many places beyond the current collection, although the best format will depend on the landscape, scale and level of detail needed.
For smaller corporate gifts, Local Spots can work well. For premium client gifts, awards or office artwork, Medium, Large HD or bespoke commissions are usually more suitable.
Yes, your product page should confirm the exact hanging details for the map you choose.
