Wow RjBeals, you've made some very beautiful maps! It makes what I do seem really boring.
I've created two nautical charts from scratch:
Chart 16587
and
Chart 18748

I'm a newbie here as well, and interested in all aspects of Cartography. I'm primarily an indie game designer trying to learn enough here so I can create graphical representations of the worlds I create in text.
As a game designer I'd be thrilled if you would do a step-by-step (in layman's terms) of the process for making one of your type maps. 'Cartographer' is one of the professions I've been considering trying to add to the game I'm currently designing. Professions in this game are all based on 'real-world' mechanics, knowledge, processes, etc. I'm curious to see if I would be able to convert the process over in a somewhat accurate manner, while maintaining the 'fun-factor' of doing so.
In any case, didn't mean to ramble.. welcome to the Guild.
