a topographic map was rendered using
Demis' mapserver. This combines public domain datasets and renders an image. Demis allows unlimited use of this:
[1] says With this statement DEMIS BV grants you permission to freely copy the PNG images returned by our server and use them for your own purposes, including web pages.
A second version was referenced with the same geometry but with all the available layers turned on. This was used as a guideline for the positions of roads and cities, although the second rendered map is not used in the final rendered image.
The map was imported in to
Inkscape where annotations were drawn in several layers over the bitmap.
Roads were manually traced from the road lines in the detail map, and cities located from that reference.
Maps (listed in references) used for reference when placing features (most features are somewhat schematic, with only moderate attention to details of precise size and location).
