Final Map for Challenge!
Here's my final for Challenge purposes. I can post higher resolution images of each section (top and bottom) if that helps. I have more work to do for publication, including dozens of tags identifying buildings and locations.
Context. Bear in mind that, in the adventure this illustrates, this isn't a true "before and after" setting. The "false" village in the lower half exists at the same time and not far from the real Feeding Hills. But when the adventurers come back up from their toils underground into the false village, they likely don't know it's not the real village, and it appears as if decades, if not centuries, have passed.
Gratitude! Thanks to everyone who offered support and assistance on this thread during this project! You folks rock!

What's the LATEST WIP tag? How do I attach it?

All alone.
Clueless.

A lot of the voters will look at the thumbnail page that gets generated, and go from there, so you don't want to lose any potential votes because they had to work to find your map

Oh, okay, thanks Coyotemax! Let me try posting my final again. The code goes straight into the text of the post, right? Let me give it a try.
Sorry for the duplication that's about to ensue! Hope I'm doing it right this time.

Yikes! My name and a thumbnail popped up on the September Challenge page, but the thumbnail shows only a miniscule, random section of my map. Clicking on the thumbnail shows only a larger version of the same tiny snippet from the map.
I must be doing something wrong.
Any advice? How do I help the system create a thumbnail that shows the whole map or that links to the whole map?
All is well for the moment. The last time the thumbnail script was run, that just happened to be the last image in your thread that it picked up, is all. When it gets run again (it usually does right before the voting starts, i believe it's a manual process) it will pick your tagged image and display that.
If i recall the thumbnail scraper will still nab images from your thread, but with the tag, you have control over exactly which image it will be.

Thanks again, Coyotemax! It looks like it will pay for me to learn a bit more about the system here! I appreciate the heads up!
This is beautiful. I'm glad you kept it at the same scale in the end, makes it easier to compare
