My wife drew this map.
🕑 Added 2022-04-01 10:21:47 +0000 UTCI've been drawing fantasy maps for a living for about 3 1/2 years now and, in my house, there is exactly one map framed and hanging on the wall. It is this map. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. This might be my favorite map ever.
For context, this is a map of all the places in North America that my wife could identify. It's important to mention that she's from Ireland and she was VERY hung over at the time. So, you can laugh at her knowledge of American geography, but only if you know whether Limerick is east or west of Dun Laoghaire. And you have to know how to pronounce Dun Laoghaire.
So, let's talk about the map. At the top, we have Canada, or rather, CANADA, which is looking good. Below that, we've got Ohio, along with Lake Erie above it. Not the most famous place, but it's where I'm from. Then we've got fLorida further down, capitalized in the traditional way. Then, at the bottom, there's Mexico, which looks pretty solid. Note the possibly-unintentional Baja Peninsula.
Along the west coast, things get interesting. You've got an unlabeled California and Oregon, along with a tiny... I'm not sure. Possibly some sort of Canadian Mini-Florida? In any case, she drew an X on it, so there's apparently treasure.
I'm not sure how useful this map is for RPG purposes, but I put a grid on it just in case. I also made a hex version because, you know, why not.
Well, I hope you like this as much as I do, although I'm not sure that's possible. This map makes me unspeakably happy.

Thanks! I do believe that is Oregon.

What is that square above the west coast scribble? Oregon? Well we are smaller now that we are not the Oregon territory. But good job! Will keep supporting you!

No problem, it would've been wrong to keep this to myself!
