Maps have been around for centuries- they help us know what cultures were aware of in terms of their neighbors, other lands, and so on. Map making continues today, as we map other planets, the bottom of the seas, and continually produce high quality maps here that measure various aspects of culture, demographics, and geography.
And a "satellite" view of the same https://i.imgur.com/YyF3JPJ.jpeg
This was made with a combination of Inkscape, Gimp, and a janky but delightful erosion-simulation tool called Wilbur http://www.fracterra.com/wilbur.html
That erosion tool is interesting. Also, nice map :)
Thanks! Most of my Wilbur usage was following this guide on the Cartographer's Guild forum (you need an account to see it, but it's free)
