The original map looks painted, giving it a feel of being lovingly handcrafted, then photocopied for publication. I think it's blur/noise that gives it that feeling of being photocopied. It's style is very reminiscent of a map you'd find with a boxed fantasy RPG set.

The redo looks like a photograph shot from a satelite and very flat, like it was taken with the sun directly over head and it looks flat.

Both maps give the impression of a very flat, featureless plain with very little change in features or elevation.

I do like the overall idea and such a large impact crater in the ocean tells a compelling geological tale
