Since 2010, Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®) has proudly partnered with Butler Maps to produce planning maps for each BDR route. Together, along with the distribution support of both Butler Maps and Touratech-USA, BDR has helped riders explore and connect with the backcountry in meaningful ways.
Over the years, BDR has grown from a small grassroots effort into a nationwide route network and community while remaining focused on its core mission: serving riders, expanding access to resources, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the riding opportunities created by the nonprofit organization.
The recent launch of the BDR online store has been an incredible success and now plays an important role in strengthening BDR’s financial foundation. Moving forward, the BDR online store will be the only place to purchase BDR maps and merchandise online. A select number of motorcycle dealerships will continue to carry maps in-store for riders who prefer to shop locally.
While Butler Maps will no longer sell BDR maps, the company has long set the standard for premium adventure travel maps, helping BDR riders, as well as countless non-motorcycling explorers, connect with iconic off-pavement routes, remote destinations, scenic highways, and hidden gems across the continent.
BDR would like to express its deep gratitude to Butler Maps and Touratech-USA for their years of partnership, support, and friendship. These relationships have been, and continue to be, instrumental in BDR’s growth and success, and we are proud to continue working alongside them as valued collaborators in the adventure riding community.
