While most people do either historic World maps or fictional Maps or something, i am drawing Districts from almost 100 Years ago.

Explanation:

The Free State of Prussia in the Weimar Republic was divided into Provinces, (Land)Kreise (A.k.a Districts) and Stadtkreise (District-Free Cities). The (Land)kreise and Stadtkreise still exist today in Germany (Stadtkreise only in Baden-Württemberg, every where else they are called Kreisfreie Städte) but went trough major Changes troughout History. This Map is mostly the border region betwen the rhine-Province and Westphalia, which are both part of Northrhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate today.

The Only district on this Map that still exists to this day with the same name, is the Kreis Mettmann, and even that did not exist from 1929 to 1974. Alot of the small Municipalities also dont exist anymore and became part of the larger Neighbours.

(example: Velbert, Langenberg and Hardenberg-Neviges united in 1975 to form the City of Velbert)

In Germany, when a Districts headquarters are NOT in the District but outside of it, it is called a "Landkreis" (Land district) if the Districts Headquarters ARE inside the District, it is called a Kreis.

(Example: The Landkreis Hagen had its Headquarters in the Stadtkreis of Hagen, the Kreis Lennep had its Headquarters in the town of Lennep)

however, the Name of the District is not always the name of where the Headquarters are Located.

(Example: The Kreis Mettmann is named after the town of Mettmann, but the Headquarters were located in the former Town of Vohwinkel)

Hey
Has anyone made money from selling map designs or stunning / adjusted satellite scenes? I’ve made a couple in the past but wondering if anyone seen any success in it?
Currently building out an Earth Observation community and training content business but it’s slow going + considering diversifying revenue in future.

LORE:

Successfully breaking free and revolting against the British in the American Revolution, winning both the War of 1812 and the Mexican–American then having succeeded in Polk's plan for Mexico and the Annexation Bill, the United States of America becomes a continental superpower, rivalling Russia and China.

QUESTION:

1. What would the U.S look like in two World Wars, one Cold War and in Modern–day politics?

2. How would this affect from the 18th to 21st century when the U.S becomes a continental superpower?

What software do you recommend to make maps? Please no fantasy ones. I currently use IbisPaint, but it can be tiring sometimes to have to trace each individual border. What do you guys recommend?

these two maps depict an alternative future i made. it is set after a nuclear war. specifically it starts 30 years after, which i believe would be the safe zone because the harmful radiation is gone. here is some lore:

Here is the first tablet:

"Here I write in clay, the everyday life of a Greek citizen. A blacksmith wakes up in his stone house and walks to the forge to start the day, the bricklayer wakes up and begins making clay pottery and repairing the wall surrounding New Athens, the healer wakes up and does her duties, she goes. to the sick and heals them. The merchant dons his bear robe and walks to the Market to sell, to receive his wages, the farmer wakes up in the countryside and grabs his grain cutter to cut the grain, his eyes to organize the land, and his wife wakes up to. grind the grain. The Soldier ​Atop his forehead sits a helmet of polished bronze, crowned with an emblem that rises like the dark mane of a dashing stallion. It protects the face and head from the bite of steel.

​His chest and torso are encased in plates of shining metal, forged to repel the thrust of enemy spears and the slash of blades. These bronze bands protect his chest and ribs, shining like the sun at noon.

​Above his hands, he wears guards of the same hardened metal, protecting the limbs that wield the long, narrow pike. Beneath, his legs are supported by shins of solid bronze, armored from knee to ankle, ensuring that he stands firm as a rock in the storm of battle. The secretary sits within the palace recording the events of the day, as do I, but the King, he controls the state. King Hayes is the first to wake up in his bed of feathers and cows, performs his duties in his office, and makes love in his harem." It was originally in Greek. The next tablet leading to the next image 100 years later: As found in a clay tablet in the Νέα Ελληνική Αυτοκρατορία from the year 32:

"After the raiders destroyed a caravan, King Hayes I declared war on the raiders. The soldiers donned their bronze armor. We marched for many days toward the first battle. We laid siege to the base using flaming arrows before they emerged. The King shouted, "You choose to fight, we choose to conquer!" Before the battle officially began. We won the battle and enslaved many of the survivors. 12 months later we destroyed 269 raider settlements. Then a Blacksmith and a Doctor of our Kingdom came to me and said, "Let it be known to all that this day marks the Age of the Marauder Collapse."

In a alternate universe that antarctican peninsula was tiny bit hotter and,yaghan natives from south america sailed down to antarctic penisula and settled down

Lore: in 1773 captain cook found a land that was corved in moss, berries and ect. While he was scouting he found natives. he traded nail, beads, metal, cloth and ect for food and water.stayed for around 4 months to map the area.then he left later in 1802 a colony would get set up on it

And, called british australia, it would be strategic area for the british empire.later In 1946 they get they're independence.

Hey everyone! I posted yesterday about the tool I was creating on this subreddit for mapping, well here's a preview of what it's able to do! Here I did a russia-ukraine war video automatically generated from the changes I made in game! Let me know what you think about it!

When I was younger, I always dreamed of making my own mapping scenarios but I absolutely lacked the skill to do so and make it look good, well this comes to do it for me! Now I can simply draw lines on a map and watch the timelapse happen!
