    I agree that this is a great map, but it appears to be rather simple. There are no obvious complicated effects involved.

    So I'm not quite certain what you are looking for: how this map was designed? How the design was executed?


    Of course, as I have not made this map, I cannot tell you exactly how it (whatever it is) was done. Maybe you should post a PM to the creator?

    I think it was hand drawn, with pen or a tablet, I'm not sure.

    For the rest, as Freodin said, if you want tips, you should ask a more specific question.

    The author mentions Photoshop. It may have been drawn digitally into photoshop with a tablet. The hexes may be a pattern fill. The lake work is really intricate; that looks hard to do without a tablet unless perhaps they started off as random patterns (using a render clouds filter?) lovingly edited later.

    Well... I just noticed that's Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ontario, and Lake Superior, pretty accurately rendered. So perhaps it's a tracing job.

    Ok, I just need to make things clear: you want to make a map or you are searching a map already finished ?
