    Well if you're thinking of a hand-drawn styled map, I've got some ukiyo-e woodblock style map objects of mountains and terrain, inspired by Hokusai and Hiroshige master woodblock print artists from 19th century Japan. I developed these to make my Asian style maps really pop with an authentic look. I am the creator and publisher of the Kaidan setting of Japanese horror (PFRPG0, which is an imprint published under Rite Publishing.

    The first image below is where I first used these symbols for a guild map challenge (I forget when) years ago. The second image is one of the three large islands of my Kaidan setting... doesn't that look great for Asian style maps!

    Edit: I just noticed this was in the map request forum, I didn't notice that when I responded... I don't have time to do personal map commissions, I was thinking these objects might be something you could do in a map you create yourself. I'm way too busy writing 2 tutorial guide books supporting a Kickstarter, doing map commission work for 3 different RPG publishers (Legendary Games, Stormbunny Studios and EN Publishing), so I can't help you beyond pointing out some resources for you...

    No problem Gamerprinter! I lack the talent to do the map myself but thank you for the examples. They look very nice
