Duchy of Emmonmot map series

[wminish]

Hi All

I've recently started a new mapping project looking at a small region that I've named the Duchy of Emmonmot. I was inspired after reading the article "Medieval demographics made easy" to create a small region with town sizes and spacings accurate to the late medieval period. This type of area also strikes me as a very interesting place to set a DnD campaign or something similar.

Below I've attached to overall region map which will be the first in a series of maps. I'm also planning to do town maps of some of the individual towns and the city and maps of individual buildings and complexes (I'm keen to try an isometric style for at least some of the building maps as well). For the area map, I've decided to try something a bit different from my usual style and do a topographical map. I've done small scattered patches of trees to represent the forests so as to not obscure the elevation lines too much. I'm currently in the process of adding colour to the map and I'll try to add some depth to the map with shading while I'm doing this.
