I’ve been making a few of these style maps recently, I did New England and Scotland previously for fun. Europe was a bigger challenge due to the scale of the place and the fairly complicated coastlines and water features. Particularly around Finland and Sweden (why you have so many lakes?). The whole thing took around 6 hours total.
If you want more like this, let me know! You can download the high resolution version below for free, and likewise If you want to know how these are made click the other link below for a general outline:
Instead of trying to label everything accurately, this time I’ve stuck to some islands, most capital cities, and the main mountain ranges as it is supposed to be mostly a geographical map – the density of European borders don’t lend themselves nicely to maps at this resolution.
Fair to say there are some issues with text legibility in this – if I started again I’d vary text colour to stand out against mountain ranges – things are only really readable at around 100% zoom. I might come back to this later on and clean things up a bit.
I’m posting a handful of SW galaxy maps here to consolidate them for my own use, but some of you SW fic writers might find them useful too. Be aware that there will be occasional inconsistencies between all of them due to Lucasfilms/Disney using numerous authors and artists, EU vs. Legends vs. New Canon, and different fan interpretations of any conflicting materials.
The top 4 images are from my copy of Star Wars: The Essential Atlas. The bottom image is from my copy of The Imperial Handbook: A Commander’s Guide (placing this map somewhere in the post-RotS/OT era). All of the other images I tried to upload were… not very good quality, so I’ve provided links to more SW maps below instead.
