I love this one!

Well, I fibbed. Just a little. Callum Cullfeather grew a little in my mind, and I needed to add just a bit to the map text. This led to resizing the background and the text box to accommodate the new words, which then led to rewording a few parts so that it fit in the box in a way that's more pleasing to my eye.

Here is the latest "final" version…

I think I'm calling my October Community Challenge map complete. Thanks much to Remy and Sue for the suggestions - implementing them made it a MUCH better map!

I've attached the .fcw file to the last post with a map in it. Everything comes straight from CC3+ (mostly the annual City Streets style, but the font and a few of the symbols are from other add-ons), so it should work fine for the Community Atlas if you'd like to include it.

Cities aren't my usual mapping "thing," so I'm having a hard time deciding if there's anything else I need...

I'm picturing this as a residential / mercantile neighborhood, with the Sherrif, Bailiff and Catchpole all having residences here though their work takes them throughout the city. That small courtyard type area with the fountain just seems like a natural place for people to shop. I could crowd more businesses in there, I suppose, though I'd want to make sure they're ones that don't stink to high heaven - it just seems like a little more upscale place than that to me.

That is one gorgeous map!

Pappy is what my kids and I have decided my grandchildren will call me (when I actually have grandchildren, which is still a few years down the road, I hope).

From an aesthetic viewpoint, I prefer the darker brown "base" (the supporting earth/cliffs) from your first map to the much lighter color of the second one. I think it's the contrast between that and the surface area that appeals.

Thank you, Ricko. High praise!

Lordy! That's a lot o' maps! Very nice work!

Most likely, this is because that character isn't included in the font you're using. When I make a map and put in text in the Bookman Old Style font, for example, and use the alt code for Û, it shows up fine. But when I change the font to Viner Goblin Hand it just returns a blank space, because whoever developed the Goblin Hand font didn't include that character when they wrote it.
