    Thank you for the kind words. I actually got the inspiration for this map from the font . I would love to be able to wrap my text along a path but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it.

    In GIMP, create a path the way you want it. Then, on the text layer, there is a text along path button. Check out RobA's tutorial for details. I have been told Inkscape makes this much easier, but I don't know the details so can't help...
