Yes, I do know. Those are mine. 🙂 

They are based on Jeff's sketch which he posted some time back which was used as the 1618 starting point. 

I'd have thought with the Nochet maps out there, that my map style would be recognized by now! 😉

FWIW...

The only map style I recognize by name is Wm Church's.

Look on the bright side:  look at all the great Gloranthan map-makers whose obscurity you share!

What are you using to create maps with?  It reminds me of maps created with Ortelius.

They are actually done using Powerpoint.  Yes, Powerpoint!  Probably not what you expected, but I've become reasonably adept at manipulating and modifying the shapes. 🙂

Plus, they convert nicely into pdf or jpg formats as well.

I'm impressed.  I certainly wouldn't have the patience to to make maps with it.  They look good though, very clean.

They look A LOT like the surveyor's maps we used to use in school for orientation practice. Well done

Thanks.
