Excellent blog! I must admit that I’ve never thought about DIY cartography but this blog is getting me interested. I love maps!

I keep a map/geography blog (listed above). Have a look and see if you’d be interested in exchanging links. Leave me a comment or drop me an email at

You finally helped me to solve my tree problem with making RPG maps. I’d been using the ZombieNirvana videos from YouTube as a guide, but I was never satisfied with the trees. Looking at these examples gave me the inspiration I needed. Here are the results – the map is for a player handout that I’m going to print on cotton paper and then “age”.

Thank you. Your blog is a must read and I’m highlighting it whereever I talk about this map, especially http://forum.cartographersguild.com

I really like the interesting mix of tree symbols with thematic underlays. I hadn’t noticed this approach before. It’s almost like building a legend into a thematic map. I want to explore this idea more!
