    Info

    I'm close to the end.

    Here is a close view of how the map is beeing built with all the different layers :

    The basic layers, the sea, the form of the country. And a red rectangle...

    1.png
    Close view in the rectangle with the first topographic layers.

    2.png
    "All" topograhical layers shown. This is not the most mountaineous part of Galia.

    3.png
    Added provincial and inner-provincial administrative limits.

    4.png
    Let's add colours to distinguish the different provinces.

    5.png
    Now the topographical shadow made in Photoshop is added to make the topography more realistic.

    6.png
    Rivers added.

    7.png
    And cities roundels.Their size depends of their population and administrative status.

    8.png
    Population that is confirmed by the urbanisation sprawl.

    9.png
    Rail/road/highway networks links all the cities between them.

    10.png
    First labels : Town names. Size also depends of the population and administrative status.

    11.png
    Road and Highway numbers added. Road numbers are specific for each province but highway numbers are national.
    River and Hidrographical labels added aswell.

    12.png
    Geographical labels added, from mountain names to geographical landforms, forests etc.

    13.png
    Last layers added : Provincial and Eliopy names and also the coordinate grid.

    All is "hand drawn" (topographical layers/rivers). I did not use any terrain generator except my pencil and a piece of paper 10/15 years ago
