Nice map. I assume the lines are elevation levels? or are they something else? It looks a bit odd if they are as the various colors don't follow the level lines...

i like it nice layout
Yes... I agree.. great map.. I like the layout and the colors... especially the water
Very, very nice indeed. Although I'd be tempted to have the contour lines behind the built objects. As with Del, I love what you have done with the water - gives it a really nice sense of movement.
Man, thats a great looking city landorl! I love the natural form of the layout. Very realistic. Do you hand draw you individual buildings?

Very nice technique, I like your style! some more info on your methods, would be handy...
For the buildings, I am using the Pen tool to make the box. I use an off white color(a little tan), and I use a layer style - Stroke, black, 1 px, and a 2 px drop shadow.
I am using the pen with the "shape layer" set so that each building makes a new layer. So, to keep it organized, I use a "group" for each type of buildings.
I tried to do it with the rectangle tool, but it will only make right angle boxes (unless there is a way to do it that I don't know). Still, the Pen tool seems to do a good job, but it is hard to get square angles with it!
