Seems hard to do but I love the challenge. And this Island is a small part of a much bigger map which you probably will hear me ranting about in the future
    I'm sorry to be a naysayer Wildcode but whenever you try to scale up the resolution of a raster image such as your map you are going to end up with a pixelated piece of work. I don't think there is any way around this, and any cosmetic attempts to salvage a rasterized image are either going to be futile, or will involve so much work that you might as well begin the piece anew. I know that's probably not what you wanted to here, but it's better to know now before you invest too much more time and energy into a piece that you cannot use.

    Yeah that figures; I'll use the image as an inspiration/overlay to get the features similar.

    I always want the bad news as fast as possible so thank you
