Push Pin Maps: Track Your Travels and Tell Your Story

A push pin travel map is more than décor, it’s a personal storytelling canvas. Each pin marks a memory, a dream, or a destination that shaped you. Whether you’re a world traveler, a couple charting your adventures together, or a family building a shared bucket list, a push pin map brings your journeys to life in a way no app ever could.

At World Maps Online, our Push Pin Maps begin as high-resolution cartographic prints, color-accurate and richly detailed. Prints are run one at a time, and hand mounted for a beautiful, ready-to-hang pin board that’s as durable as it is inspiring.

Why Choose a Push Pin Map?

Push pin maps let you track your travels visually, a satisfying ritual that transforms abstract memories into something tangible. Drop a pin for every place you’ve been, trace routes you’ve traveled, or color-code pins for future trips. Your wall becomes a personal atlas that evolves with every journey.

Unlike digital souvenirs that disappear into feeds, a push pin map becomes a conversation piece. Each cluster of pins tells a story: the honeymoon in Italy, the road trip across the Rockies, or the family adventure through national parks. It’s geography made personal.

Crafted with Care in the USA

Every push pin map is printed, mounted, and assembled in the United States using professional materials. We use pigment-based inks for long-lasting color and clarity, and mount each map to a durable backing so it’s ready for years of pinning.

When you purchase from World Maps Online, you’re supporting an independent small business with over 25 years of map-making experience.

Explore Styles & Collections

Choose from vintage-inspired designs with soft tones and classic type, modern minimalist layouts that fit clean interiors, educational styles highlighting political boundaries and capitals, and decorative themes from black-and-white to watercolor palettes.

Personalize Your Push Pin Map

Every explorer’s journey is unique, your map should be too. Most of our push pin maps can be personalized with a name or title such as “The Anderson Family Travels,” “John & Maya’s Adventures,” or “Our Journey Around the World.” You can also add a favorite quote to inspire your wanderlust. Personalized text is printed directly onto the title cartouche for a professional finish and a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake.
