Whether you are chronicling a bold adventure, or quietly sketching at home, this journal will remind you of a city you love. We hand select each hide from Seidel Tannery, etch the leather with a composite of several 1950s maps of Madison, Wisconsin, stitch and finish it in our studio.
This journal is made of full-grain leather, and closes securely with a solid brass Sam Browne closure. It includes a lined Moleskine notebook which can be replaced again and again. It’s a long-lasting gift for the artist, writer, or adventurer in your life.
*As we make each item by hand with natural materials, there may be slight variations in your journal from the product that is pictured. Unless otherwise specified, all items are made to order. Please allow 1-2 weeks for shipping.*

I am very pleased either the quality of the Manhattan Map Journal. The map is well etched into the leather. As one who grew up with a dad who was a leather carver the smell of quality leather is in my genes. Tactile Craftworks uses a high grade of leather. I like the product so much that I ordered two of the Maui passport holders as a gifts.
Honolulu Map Journal
This journal was so detailed and perfectly made! The craftsmanship and quality of this product is superb and would recommend for anyone as a gift or themselves.
Thank you for making this!
Not as nice as my old one
I purchased two Houston Map Journals for the neighbor graduating high school senior boys. Each is following a different post-high-school plan, but I know these boys well enough to conclude they will use these journals to capture names and special moments as they journey onward. They will carry this connection to their home town with them, as well. Their parents loved the journals, too - a timeless (and timely!) alternative to cash.
