Very nice map. If I had one gripe about it then that would have to be the text. It looks a little too plain for my tastes.
Also, given what the setting sounds like and the influences you're citing, it seems to me that it would be more suited to being run with the Deadlands system or something similar. How did you handle guns? Or do six-shooters have no place in this setting?

For the campaign, we used a slightly modified d20 system that pulled from various other things but mainly stock D&D. We created our own rules for firearms, which definitely included six-shooters (the theme was Wild West meets Steampunk) and unless I root through some old files I can't remember exactly how it works. I do remember kicking around Deadlands or something like it when we were concepting the system, but I don't remember anything more than that.
Sorry! I normally make maps at much much higher resolutions, but this one I created at the stock 8 1/2 x 11 size in photoshop. I mainly did it that way so I could belt it out in an afternoon. Below is a work in progress from another map I've been doing off and on that is at a much higher resolution. I drew it out in pen first, scanned it in and now am toying around with the colors:
It's a southern island of the full map, which is this in black and white:

Show us the big size...I wanna see those citiesAwesome work. When posting, look for the button that says "Manage Attachments" and click on that. A pop up window appears so browse to your file and then click upload. It will upload just fine so long as it is under the file size restriction of 4.7 megabytes and the image size restriction which is around 32 million pixels...though usually I find that anything over 5000 square doesn't upload right.
