About Little Pepe Geo USA
Celebrating America's diverse landscapes through unique geographic collectibles since 2019.
Our Story
Little Pepe Geo USA was born from a passion for America's breathtaking landscapes and natural wonders. Founded in 2019 by a team of geography enthusiasts and skilled craftspeople, we set out with a simple mission: to celebrate the diverse geographic beauty of the United States through meticulously crafted collectibles that educate, inspire, and bring the majesty of our country's landscapes into homes and offices.
What began as a small workshop in Mekhiland, Texas, has grown into a beloved brand with customers in all 50 states. Our founder, Emma Rodriguez, combined her background in geography with her family's tradition of craftsmanship to create the first collection of topographic relief maps. The response was immediate and enthusiastic, leading to an expanded product line and a growing team of artisans and geography experts.
Today, Little Pepe Geo USA continues to innovate with new products that showcase America's geographic diversity - from the rugged peaks of the Rockies to the sinuous path of the Mississippi River, from the dramatic contours of the Grand Canyon to the shimmering expanse of the Great Lakes. Each piece we create is designed not just as a beautiful object, but as a window into understanding the natural forces that have shaped our nation's landscape.

Our Crafting Process
Research & Data Collection
We start by gathering accurate geographic and topographic data from official sources like the USGS. Our team analyzes this information to ensure scientific accuracy in every piece.
Design & Prototyping
Our designers transform raw data into beautiful 3D models and detailed plans. Multiple prototypes are created and refined until we achieve the perfect balance of accuracy and aesthetic appeal.
Material Selection
We carefully choose sustainable, high-quality materials that will bring each geographic feature to life. Different woods, resins, and other materials are selected based on their properties and appearance.
Handcrafting
Our skilled artisans create each piece by hand, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. This phase involves carving, layering, and assembling components with meticulous attention to detail.
Finishing & Quality Control
Each product receives careful finishing touches and undergoes rigorous quality inspection. We verify both the accuracy of the geographic representation and the quality of craftsmanship.
