Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

The other 50% are less certain, but in the generally agreed areas. Other than a couple of primary arteries, very little is known of street layouts, so that's all conjecture. I'm currently trying to reduce the overly digital appearance (it's amazing what you don't see until someone points it out) without redrawing the whole thing. Thanks again (and that's a perfect example of what I'm going for, Wingshaw).
