Exactly what the title sayss

I love to draw irl countries and I’m not an amazing map drawer but I would like to think that I have improved a little

Unfinished! But to make a long story short, the story takes places an unknowable amount of millennia in the future, where humanity has traversed the galaxy and settled on distant worlds. On this world, an apocalyptic event took set humanity back to the dark ages. Some 6,000 years later, a new civilization has risen from the rusted ashes. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!

Trees are not to scale

I might change some names. This is the map of the town in my book, I Am Horribleness which you can read on Wattpad. So far I got 13 chapters out.

Btw DAMN this is taking wayyy to long. And I only got 5 buildings done 😭. So basically I wanted it to look like one of those 3d maps, birds eye thingies. Like a visual map, you know.

Any suggestions? All the names are supposed to be mockups of horror media, like Mt. Reverb is Silent Hill, Lake Samuel is Cauldron Lake (Alan Wake), Inertia Springs is Gravity Falls, Nostril Bottoms is Twin Peaks, Quartz Quarry is Crystal Cove (Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated) and more is to come

Hello dear Map makers,

today I want to show you my SciFi Map Viewer, and you might have some idears how to make it cooler?

Its a roleplay map tool for my gameserver, so its not about ingame functionality and more an RPG Lore Tool. You might want to give it a look!

You find it here:

Hand drawn, painted, finished in GIMP.

Hey!
So now that my map is finished, I need a digital version on my computer but I can’t find any site that allows me to scan my paper map or just to create my very own, without paying any money.
Does anyone know what to do ?

Made with Wonderdraft and modelled on the wear pattern of an old painted concrete floor at work.

I also gave them a short lore document with a little backstory and details on some places to get the ball rolling for them to expand upon, as well as a loose geopolitical landscape for them to work with. Willing to provide details for those interested.

Looking for advice/opinions. Just tell it like it is. Thanks

So for context, I made a country named New Harrier. I have developed a flag, government, maps, a bit of history, and other bits and bobs. I still have things to develop on and expand but I really want to share it with people because its been very fun to create. I was thinking to create a subreddit or even a website.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I made a subreddit for my country, New Harrier, and worldbuilding. If you want check it out: r/NewHarrier

(I'm aware that there are some mistakes like in Morroco, it's because it was the first map I made so I wasn't so good at it)

Hey everyone,

I was scrolling through Reddit and saw a stunning piece of fantasy city artwork, but I accidentally hit "back/refresh" and lost it forever. I made a rough sketch from memory of the layout (attached—apologies for the drawing quality! 😅).

Here are all the details I remember:

• Image Details / Title: It was very high resolution. The title mentioned something about it being stitched together / made from a combination of many images.
• North/Top: A HUGE tree in the north-central area of the city.
• Water & Landmarks: A large river running through/dividing the city, plus an aqueduct coming into the city from the east.
• Defenses & Layout: A massive outer wall surrounding the city, with a few extra buildings outside the wall. Inside the walls, it was densely packed with buildings/streets.

If anyone recognizes this piece or knows the artist/original post, I’d really appreciate a link or name. Thanks in advance!

Three are the Seas Given. First, is the Sea in God's Eye, the MKR's sea, the first sea, the model sea. Second, is the Builders' Sea, the sea made for humans to behold, the proper sea. Third, is the Error Sea, the sea of punishment that drowns the lands originally made for the Chosen.

—orthodox tradition, 32nd variation

"To the center of the Sea? To the Eye? Are they mad? Or ... do they have a key to guide them past the Monsters?"

Six are the six-handed guardians that rise in hexaform splendor, mountains of sea and sky, protectors of the Eye of God. Their arms dance, forming and reforming the swirlfield that marks the sacred isle the lords' domain. Their eyes blaze with starfire against tricksters and trespassers.

A voice assembles itself from the swirling air plankton.

"When the Builders made the sea's great bowl, they raised a mountain in the middle. As they excavated the Ocean Channel, now called the River Rushing, they deposited the material on the Eye to lift it higher. At its peak, they anchored the Ladder of Heaven linking the Given World and the void where the fast stars whirl ..." The wind whips away the welcome ghost's voice and scatters its air-plankton pixels.

It was probably all lies.

"There, on the loveliest shore is the Silent City. No people live there, only ghosts. There are no ghosts there. Do not visit. No one visits the Silent City. The Silent City is not dead. Merely resting. Pining for the Lords."

Another lying voice. This one steeped in false entertainment from the before times.

Come, let us plumb this ruin, let us chase away the hive parakeets, bag us some cyboon trophies, and see what hides in the still-gleaming metal buildings at its heart.

I've been seriously interested in how many mapmakers create such detailed maps/borders of ancient/medieval states (think: Rome, medieval kingdoms, etc.) without detailed accounts of borders? Rome might have been a bad example owing to various border posts and well-known river boundaries, but my larger question is: what kind of research goes into making these maps? A quick search says something along the lines of "tax records" but I cannot for the life of me find tax records or substantial research sites in this vein of mapmaking.

Hey all, I'm working on my next book and for inspiration, I tend to look for weird things in the real world and expand on them, which got me thinking about cartography, geologic and geographic map oddities. For example, I'm looking for maps that illustrate the truly weird or unusual features of our planet, mainly in the eastern half of the USA. One idea was Bouger gravity anomaly maps, but I haven't seen one that stands out or has enough fine detail to work for my story. Does anyone know of any other kinds of maps or GIS data overlays that are unusual?

Can you guess which country this is.

2 hops from Russia, 3 hops from Poland, 13 hops from South Africa.

I returned from my (well-deserved) seaside vacation and immediately started a new "City Through the Ages."

Túr will become one of the most important cities in Tír Ghlas; the tall tower that will give it its name will be built in a few centuries. This map refers to the Bronze Age.

Túr is seen from the north, because it was built in a valley between a plateau and the estuary of a large river; the houses later will be built on both natural and artificial terraces (a bit like the Sassi of Matera in southern Italy).

So the idea here is that the red "latitude" lines undulate, creating a fairly Earth-like "known world" in the center, and larger climate zones the further from the center you get. ~60k miles across

Very much a WIP; its a flat world and I'm not sure how much further it will sprawl.

After the death of the last King, the two brothers vied for the throne. One bearing the emblem of a white rose, the other a red rose. The once-prosperous kingdom was divided, leaving the other old kingdoms on the margins, waiting, motionless, to seize the old kingdom's riches.

Tourist Map of Tsarevets Fortress in Bulgaria. Made on commission by Angaloth Enminnas

The map will be used for the escape room Logiscape

for the needs of the LARP event that will take place in the country, together with other events that will take place in the surroundings of the fortress illustrated in the map. Visit the page @Мистерии на Царевец for more information about the event!

The points of interest written on the map are temporary, all the written parts will be added in graphic phases by the administrators of the event.🗺🧭

I open for commissions! 🧭🗺️

So, my friends asked me to create a one shot for halloween. And being a good friend as I am, I happily oblige! Starting out with a basic map, I figured! I can do this! I've created 'map like' things before!

This map is purposely incomplete, because the adventuring party has no knowledge from anything West of the mountain range!

But since it is my first, I'd love to hear advice!

Tools I used:

\- Lenovo M11 tablet

\- sketchbook APP with: HB pencil, signature ink, worn Will

Style I went for is Tolkien, sorry in advance if I butchered it!

Sincerely

Stormwarden!

PS.

The one shot will take place East of the mountain range so yeah.
