    With a night to sleep on it, on second thought the fancy borders on the legend boxes seemed a little too heavy for the rest of that part of the map... I worry it doesn't stylistically gel very well as a result. Thoughts? Does the version without have a better feel like I suspect?

    I think you are better off with the simple borders. The fancy borders don't really seem to fit with the style of the map or other borders. This has really turned out well for you, its very nicely done.

    I actually prefer the fancy borders, without them it looks a little plain. It does however seem cleaner so there is that.

    Thanks for the feedback! I think I'm still leaning away from the fancy borders, yeah. Originally (and before I added the illustrations) I did think the boxes were too plain and had been planning to add ornamented borders like that for a while - I did think some fanciful curlicues were fitting to the style I was going for with the map - but as I kept working on the border/legend region I was more and more enjoying the canvas-overlay-fill illustration/coloring style. By the end of it when I saw it all together the borders just started to seem like they were looming over the rest of the cutout/stained-glass-like coloration the legend boxes and illustrations had.
