Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Used them in a session and the players didn't have any problems working out what was what. It probably helps that we've always used screenshots from miniatures as our tokens (LotR/Warhammer/WotC, etc) which are side on pics as opposed to top down like some people use, so when they're against the isometric trees it gives an even better impression. For people using top down image tokens (VTT) or if this was used as a printed map with actual miniatures, then I can see how it's probably not as useful.
