Five Star Maps (FS) news: In 2021 we completed the transaction of Five Star Maps purchase. We closed the Lexington NC location and moved the Five Star inventory to a fulfilment operation based out of Milwaukee WI. We made a decision to continue to use the Five Star Maps brand cover. This is for street maps in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana and for Five Star state map titles. We purged some old Five Star Map titles. We are committed to updating Five Star Maps.  For example the following is the 2022 edition of:North & South Carolina, North CarolinaNorth & South Carolina, North Carolina

We have also made some new Five Star maps of Galveston / League City / Pearland / Clear Lake Area, Texas

The Galveston map we threw away the old FS cartography, combined 2 Five Star Maps into one utilizing GM Johnson cartography and custom mapping technology.

Some of the larger Texas city street maps that Five Star used to make, we have revived utilizing GM Johnson cartography. For example Dallas, Houston and San Antonio street maps.

These 6 remaining state maps are being worked on, now. All the other states maps are either Five Star, Global Graphics or GM Johnson branded.

With the closure of competing map publishers in these economic times, we have been able to expand and grow our brands. We would like to thank all our customers, suppliers and employees to continue to support our company.

Our web site started out 9 years ago as basically an online brochure about our company. It has grown to where wholesale / retailer now can order from the web site along with consumer purchases. The ability for customers to see our maps in full detail has allowed us to be more efficient in providing better customer service.
