Liberty City Surrounds Map

[Halfpint]

Hmm I didn't notice the mountains being different I'll take a closer look.

The woodcut effect is accomplished via ArcGIS by taking the original land polygon, note I didn't include the minor islands as I only wanted the wood cut to reflect the shape of the general landscape:


And creating a series of buffers at various distances away, while the distances were mostly equal the shading varies from dense lines to intermittent "cuts" the farther from the landscape you get:


Then a series of "wood cutting" effects are placed into each buffer with the original polygon layered back on top with a old paper effect. You could likely accomplish a similar effect with Photoshop or Illustrator by stretching the object in all directions.
