WIP The Shire ( Middle Earth) - fantasy map

[SteffenBrand]

Thanks Steffen ! I reduced the thickness of mountains lines. Is it better now?

I'm not quite sure, it's hard to see. But the labeling helps anyway, especially with the glow
I like where you take this! Kudos to the labeling so far, too! It's hard to do so much of it without being distracting! =)

Amazing and you have just nailed the atmosphere so well, Max. A question: where did you get all those location names from? (E.g. the Red Downs / the Far Downs) - I've never heard them mentioned before.

My Facebook friends approve!

Sometimes we spend too much time among such talented people that we don't realise how much the great maps here just blow non cartographer's away

Thanks Ravi ! I got the names for various maps, some LOTR wiki and internt forums though I did realize that some of them aren't right ones - For instance I removed the Red Downs, village of Glen that aren't accurate according Tolkien's description, see fixed finished map
