Victorian-Style City Map

[Daxian]

I'm still fairly new to the site and mapping in general so I thought I'd throw a question out there for the experts. I'm currently working on a tabletop campaign that takes place in what I'm calling an Alternate Victorian-Era Britain where an unexplained cataclysm shook the foundations of the world and nearly wiped out the human race. So far I've sat down and drawn an overland map of the area the game will be mostly focused on.

It came out well enough and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Now I want to focus on making a nice map of the main city in the campaign where the PCs will be spending most of their time -- Lorbridge. In my head it's pretty much a replica of Victorian London, albeit with a few variations here and there. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about how to go about creating such a map? I've been looking at tutorials on here but I can't quite make up my mind on how to approach things. Any help would be much obliged!

Hi Daxian, Good job on your first map!

If I may comment, there are a couple of things you might want to fix on this map. At the left hand river confluence, you seem to have a small paint glitch. And your roads are using two different sets of dots, you might want to make them all the same.

For a first map, it's very nice. I really like the texture you have used for the water, and you got your rivers running the right direction, away from the mountains and lakes, to the sea

Have some rep for your first map post!
