Have some rep for a great map!

Hi folks! I have been lurking here for awhile but never really started posting. I've never tried to seriously make maps, but I kinda got into a habit of doodling them on paper plates during pub trivia. So anyway, a few months ago I wanted to see if some of the non-cartography related techniques I already knew would transition into map making. I guess this was just kindof a style experiment using some places from a short story that I started writing.
I have become interested in sci-fi UI and data design lately, and sorta set a goal to work on more of that kind of stuff this year, so I thought this would be a good time to start posting here!

Thank you! Yeah I noticed that some of the text was really hard to read. For some reason I think I color picked directly from the map when I was doing some of the labels.
I agree with Diamond. Very nice work.

Nice work indeed, I really like the modern render. Diamond is right about labels but it's always a tricky part.
Looks nice, maybe you could add a mountain side town or village that you can see?
Yeah actually that little brown patch by Kanab might have worked for a visible settlement. I think was thinking of Capitol Reef national park when I made this, and there is a little (tiny) town called Fruita nestled in the valley there. I doubt I'll modify this one, but I'll have to look for some reference in the the futureOriginally Posted by Sezess
