Re-creation of a 1980's regional map

Re-creation of a 1980's regional map, from my Ludewood setting.

Redone using Hexographer.

The original was done when I was 15 years old, on regular squared graph paper.

EDIT: changed to inline image so you can see it directly.

Nice, it's just asking to be explored !

Thanks, it's my first real map using Hexographer.

The original actually had more stuff in it, but I decided to spread some of it out more in distance, so some of it would now be in adjacent map sections (that I am still in the making paper copies on graph paper stage, then maybe redone with Hexographer).

It's got a base town, couple settler villages, river trade routes, demihuman settlements, native human village, steppe nomads, ruins of an old city, big area of broken hills full of monsters, and a dense tangled forest full of more monsters

To the west about 100 miles one of the rivers reaches the sea coast and a city of colonists from another land. The other directions are into the barely explored interior of the continent.

The hardest part was actually trying to reconcile it with my continent map of similar vintage (which if I decide to redo would probably be 27 miles per hex, or 9 times the scale of the regional map, which is 3 miles per hex).

Just an update, the CONTINENT MAP where this region is located is nearly done!

It looks great in color after looking at plain black ink on white graph paper for 25 years!

I think I will be done tonight then I will post it here.

EDIT: Here we go! The mysterious continent of Danarbi.
