Custom Visitor Map for The Wild Center

Enhancing Nature Exploration Interactive Mapping Solutions for Visitor Engagement


Green Goat Maps collaborated with The Wild Center to develop a custom map showcasing its trails, buildings, and exhibits. The map serves as a comprehensive resource for visitors and staff, enhancing navigation, safety, and engagement with the center’s dynamic features. The project reflects our commitment to creating functional and visually appealing mapping solutions.


This map and guide highlight The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY, showcasing trails, exhibits, and features like the Wild Walk and Fen Trail. The center emphasizes accessibility, outdoor play, and education about the Adirondacks. Visitors can explore nature trails, scenic views, and interactive exhibits, promoting a connection with the natural world.

To meet The Wild Center’s needs, Green Goat Maps was contracted to:

  • Develop a basic base map that incorporates trails, buildings, utilities, and infrastructure.

  • Design a locator map highlighting key areas, including the Oxbow Trail and exhibits.

  • Add illustrations and additional content to represent infrastructure, trees, and other visual elements.

  • Coordinate with printers to produce a durable, weather-resistant kiosk panel.


The project delivered a high-quality map that features a detailed representation of trails, buildings, and infrastructure, accompanied by illustrations and visual enhancements to improve user engagement. The design was weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor display, and offered flexibility for use in kiosk panels, brochures, or website integration.



Challenges of This Project

One of the main challenges was ensuring the map design catered to both visitors and staff, balancing clear wayfinding with detailed content about exhibits and infrastructure. The map needed to remain visually engaging while accommodating the dynamic nature of the center and its seasonal changes. Effective coordination with The Wild Center team ensured alignment with their evolving needs and vision.
