An Epic Fantasy Map

What good is an epic fantasy without maps, right?  Well, I have an epic fantasy.  And I have maps.  Several of them.  Too many of them, yet not all I need.  No, I'm not going to tell you how many maps I've made.  Why?  Because it's embarrassing. 

The map below is one of them.  It shows where the first eight or nine chapters of my epic fantasy take place.  Please keep in mind that the actual size of the map is about 20-30% larger than what is displayed here.  That means that the names of places are much easier to read on the original.

First off, please accept my apologies if this thing doesn't scale or render well on lower resolution (or smaller) displays.  I have limited devices on which to preview it.

I have a couple questions I'd like to ask, so if you don't mind, give the map a gander and scroll down.

Land of Dramar Map
(This map depicts a tiny fraction of the Strands of Pattern series' world.)

I posted this map to ask a couple questions.  I would appreciate your thoughts.
  • Do you reference maps provided in books?
  • If so, do you want one big map or multiple detailed maps?

(For those who may be curious, I did this in Microsoft Paint under Windows XP.)
