Selling maps?
You bring up a good point. I'm not an expert on copyright laws but as I understand it would be considered transformative work and it's not my intention of claiming authorship of the original work. I believe it would be more of an intellectual property issue. In any case I should look into this further to avoid legal trouble.
Looking at the DMsGuild (a branch of DriveThruRPG in partnership with WotC) content guidelines it looks like selling maps is allowed, for example https://www.dmsguild.com/product/242842/Zhentil-Keep--Forgotten-Realms-Stock-Maps is very similar to the maps I have made. This only applies to Dungeons & Dragons content however. I suppose the best thing would be to contact them about the finer details.
Thanks, that is very insightful. 'Pay What You Will' sounds like a good idea actually, at least to start with. Ultimately the most important thing is to provide fellow gamers with nice maps for their games. Best of luck!
Thanks all for the feedback, as always it's very appreciated.

Rendering Artifacts
Adding in empty sheets in between didn't work unfortunately, but copying the polygons to a new sheet with the same effects did the trick. Thanks for the tip!

Remapping the Forgotten Realms
Make sure the text layer is unfrozen/unlocked and click the 'Numeric Edit' button on the left tool panel. The mouse cursor should have a small box next to it, then click on the text you want to edit. This should open the 'Edit Text' window. In the 'Properties' settings you can change the font, size, and alignment.
If you want to change the text color you need the 'Edit Properties' button right above the 'Numeric Edit' button.

(WIP) Night City
I don't know why the buildings look different. Here are the settings I used.
Feel free to check out my .fcw file if you want to see how I did it.

(WIP) Night City
Wow looks great so far, the neon style is cool!
I pretty much did what Loopysue said. I used the CDC3 Cyberpunk building style and only decreased the bevel size from 10 to 5. The districts are flat colored polygons on a sheet with Blend Mode: Multiply; opacity 60%.
I used this map as additional reference for street layout:
