*** December 10 Mapping Challenge - Map a planet ***

[tilt]

In the light of NASA's latest discovery we thought to go to space... or at least look down from it

Your challenge is to produce a planetary scale map.
The map should be drawn and labelled to provide as much information as you can about the planet while keeping the map legible: Examples of information you might wish to include are:
Topography
Climate
Political boundaries
Places of Note
Major geological features
Cities and towns
..and much much more

This may be a map of our planet earth to present to recently discovered alien life forms, or a map of your home brewed campaign or it might be a roadmap for Santa Claus. The choice is yours.

Any member of the Cartographer's Guild is eligible to enter the monthly challenge - one map per contestant.
No update to an entry will be permitted once the threads are locked for voting. Moderators will inform members of the impending lock down whenever someone remembers, which is somewhat iffy.
Challenge will be locked down on december 31st
so we get a clean start for next year.
All are encouraged to enter the monthly challenge. Only one (or maybe two) win the challenge each time, but everyone who enters learns something about their craft and makes the event more fun for all involved.

To enter, create a new thread in this forum and use the attachment manager to upload your works in progress. Precede every image with the text:
