Well, since the changeover ate my post (and the rep I got for it, sadly ), I guess I should do my best to re-create it.

I began this map as a way to teach myself how to use all of the myriad methods for cartography I've learned together in a coherent way. I did several versions of the map, all of which can be found here, however, the parchment style map I'm including below is both my favorite, and the map I learned the most from. I'll be taking a lot of the methods I experimented with to make this map on to my next big project (which was also eaten by the server troubles). While it may not be perfect, especially in terms of the text labels being illegible at some points, I feel I learned what I needed to from this project, and it's time to move on.
