This is really the most lovely map of the shire i've seen so far max!
Looking forward to see how you depict the villages and do the labeling. The Frame is wonderful, what else than wheat, wine, apples and pipe weed does one need to live a good life? I have to say, i personally liked the more green version (at least for the plains) a bit better, because it was screaming "this is the most fertile land you can imagine!"
