Water is literally the lifeblood of any country. If you’re drawn to water, you know that how and where it flows tells the story of a place.

The USA Hydrological Map shows every river, stream, and lake, including non-perennial waterways, in fascinating detail. Our map of these water bodies displays the USA’s (Lower-48, Hawaii, and Alaska) rivers and streams using the Strahler Stream Order method. This method displays them graphically by rank, mapping how they interconnect in their intricate watersheds. The flow of water also has a dendritic, aesthetic elegance that our map captures beautifully.

Our map of the USA depicts every watercourse in the country in detail, from large rivers to intermittent streams, and every body of water with a diameter greater than 6 miles. For an extra aesthetic touch, we apply the Strahler Stream Order method to show the hierarchy of streams as they flow from their source. Lines representing rivers thicken as they acquire the flow of tributaries and gain relative importance. This allows us to legibly map a dry gulch in Nevada alongside the mighty Mississippi-Missouri River system, and enhances a sense of the interconnectedness of our waterways.

In our Hydrology Series, you’ll not only find your favorite rivers and lakes, but you’ll also be able to trace their origins and outflow and appreciate the beauty of their connections.

    Great detail and overall a nice clean look

    I ordered the print from Muir Way and am super happy with the quality of the print. After it arrived, I framed it in a thick white frame, which allows the blue color of the print to stand out and it looks great.

    Stunning

    We couldn't be happier with our Muir Way map!! It hangs over the table in our kitchen and is constantly sparking new conversation between my husband and I, reminiscing past adventures in the US and planning new ones. Thank you so much for creating such a fantastic piece of artwork that really reflects who we are as a family.

    Excellent Gift

    I sent this to a friend who works on hydrological surveys and he LOVED it. Highly recommend as a gift for any planet-appreciating people in your life!

    I must have this

    My wife and I walked into REI here in San Francisco and first cast our gaze on this blue marvel. Instantly drawn to it we looked it over for identifying marks. We immediately found a sales person and asked were we could buy a copy. Nowhere in the store. We returned to the photo we had taken of the map to look for clues, when we saw your Muirway logo. This must be available somewhere. It arrived at our apt a few days later, brilliantly packaged. Now in our new home it is the first thing guests see when they walk in and it has generated a ton of fun conversations. Thank you for this.
