Ramelin’s Davanian Hinterlands, 8 miles per hex
Although the file’s date suggests that he completed this map in February 2016, it seems that Jose didn’t share it until March 2017. It was the first new map that he posted on his DeviantArt page, having moved on from Pinterest. The map heralded a new expansion into Davania; previously he had shared only one map of the continent with his Vulture Peninsula back in 2015. The southern continent is so massive that it poses a huge challenge to any cartographer — especially at the 8 mile per hex scale. This map, following in the footsteps of Thibault Sarlat more than a decade earlier, represented a major foothold.
When he posted it, Jose commented, “It contains as much information as I could find.” This pretty much sums up his mapping style, expertly combining all of the available sources he could discover, then adding his own detailing.
