These four maps share much in common. The earliest and largest of the group is plantmap, a San Francisco Bay Area crayon created with Cedar Makhijani with the express objective of grounding our ideas in some semblance of realism. This marked a departure from my approach to previous fantasy maps, which were more maximalist and paid little mind to feasibility. The following maps applied a similar approach to other US cities, building upon the visual style that I developed for plantmap.
