Grandpappy Point Resort and Marina is in inland Texas on a lake and yet it's one of the largest marinas I've illustrated. This map will be helpful for them both informationally and for marketing. If you have a need for a similar map contact me.
I created this detailed, illustrated map for Grandpappy Point Resort and Marina, a very large full-service marinas on Lake Texoma in Denison, Texas. The property extends across more than 180 acres and includes over 700 boat slips, boathouses, cabins, dining, and service amenities that support year-round boating and waterfront activities. The map was designed as an aerial view to clearly depict docks, slip locations, the marina office, boat ramp, and other key features in a way that is both informative and visually appealing.
This illustration balances functional clarity with an engaging style that makes it useful for marina staff, visiting boaters, and property stakeholders alike. Dock labels and slip identifiers are clearly shown to support everyday marina management, while visual landmarks help users orient themselves quickly when navigating the property. The layout also allows the marina to use the map in marketing materials and visitor guides, giving potential customers a clear picture of the resort’s offerings before they arrive.
A well-designed map like this can improve operations by helping staff manage slips and guide customers, while also strengthening the waterfront brand through a polished visual presentation. For marinas looking to improve wayfinding, communicate complex spatial information, and enhance printed or digital materials, custom map illustration offers a practical and attractive solution that draws on both accuracy and design.
