Deleted symbols and text as I went. This is, for those new folks, my attempt at getting all of my surface maps into one larger map and making a region map out of that. i didn't want to bring back an old set of posts, so i started a new one.
Squashed, so the detail is mushed together. not all map edges meet, as they were under the map borders. i removed the picture frame map borders, just leaving the black hollow rectangles.
10 maps by 10 maps; 1850 miles by 2340 miles.
My eyes are slightly bothering me, I have to get up for work in hours before local sunrise, so good night.
edit:
the brown triangles are a migration route. Evidently I missed some small text bits, but too tired to worry about it tonight.

This is part of my surface maps of Crestar. The surface maps are 70 columns wdie and 20 rows high. All from my old early 1980s 5mm hexagon drawings, scanned, imported into CC2 and later updated in CC3.
I can find about 20 errors in the above maps, mountains and forests suddenly ending, etc. without trying too hard.
Night !

For the original 5mm maps, I placed a number of 5mm sheets on a table. And using a pencil sketched borders, oceans, and moutains. Each map was labelled with a column letter and row letter. I make some small pages of these large maps. I used that to make up areas. Then transferred that to the 5mm sheets. The above is the result.
I found the below, but it came along years later than the original 5mm hexagon maps. As you can see, it is just the basic layout. I went back to the pages, like 8 D, and added details.
This is just to the right of the one above. Besides removing most symbols and all of the text, I took the scaling off the bitmap fills so they look better.
The circle is 'the unknown city', kinda like the direction the characters couldn't think of in Andre Norton's Witch World series. The characters of this game planet don't know it is there.
Another impressive collection of maps. Blows me away.

I've altered the foothills on the middle side on the left to make them jut out into the plains more. Sort of looks like a jaw surrounding the area. The area is called The Undead Forest.
