Pretty! Very clean work. I like that you work in illustrator, i do too sometimes. I love isometric maps.

Yeah, I really like vectors! It's interesting to figure out what can be achieved without pixels. The upside is that I can really manipulate the heck out of lines, down to a very fine level. The downside is that I can really manipulate the heck out of lines, down to a very fine level
That's a good call on the ladder and... yeah, that north side has been bugging me since the beginning. I will definitely try to figure out a way to make it look more convincing before this thing is done. Thanks for the feedback!

Well, I'm still struggling with how to deal with the cliff faces. I think I need to let them be firmly in the background. I gave the ladder a bit more definition, as suggested, and messed with the point that the supports contact the rock, which looked really contrived before. Thanks for the feedback!

The ladder looks great now! And I think the bridge left connection to the rock looks better too.
Ooh this is looking quite nice!

Well the cliffs are a little better. I see what you mean - Max - they needed a little more definition.
I think this might be close to done. As my favourite prof said to me once (in an authoritative Scottish brogue), "An essay is never completed, only abandoned at a reasonable point." I think the same holds true for maps!
And thanks Arsheesh! I lose perspective after awhile!

Yep, Max's good advice was good! The cliff side looks fine now.
I'm always fascinated, what a bit of light and dark grey can achieve. Really nice and clear encounter map! Is there a chance that you'll upload a version without the shields? I'll surely use this map sooner or later... btw.: What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? XD
Mostly I've just got two empty halves of coconuts and I'm banging them together.
As requested, two versions to customize. One without the numbers and one without the parchment for the key.
cheers,

Edit: Just a note, this map does have a mini-adventure that goes a long with it, but it isn't publicly available yet so feel free to use this map for your games if you should have a spot for it.
