Hee hee. Nice find, though.Prominent on these old maps is a system of "thumb" lines which center at a compass rose, representing the distance between points.

Came across this this morning. Take it for what it's worth.

Stunning Map Resources...
These reference links were passed from the CC2 yahoo groups list - I checked them out, and yes, these are great cartographic resources...

The top is Odden's list of Cartographic resources, the second is on historic cities...
Just thought these were worth passing on!
Gamer Printshop Publishing, Starfinder RPG modules and supplements, Map Products, Map Symbol Sets and Map Making Tutorial Guide
DrivethruRPG store
Artstation Gallery - Maps and 3D illustrations
Someone should gather all the links into one sticky for all these great sites... in fact, someone with a little more time could compile all the great links we've seen on here, the relevant ones to mapping of course.. just a thought..
**Perhaps even have it in an FAQ type of thing... if you can link directly to posts and threads, you can also put links in for some of the great tutorials here as well...

Some nice maps of China in there, but I haven't looked at anything else yet.

Free Relief Layers for Google Maps. Great relief maps of the world. Several layers (waterbodies, labeling, lots of other stuff).
