The Robinson-projection blank world map.

I like to make realistic fantasy maps in my free time. So, here's a world map without the world, earth based and free for everyone.
A few map-making tips:
- The tropic lines tend to be desert. Ironic, isn't it?
- Tropical rain forests tend to be found on the equator. 60° N/S can get pretty wet, too.
- The arctic and antarctic circles are where you'll get 24-hour days around the hemisphere's mid-summer
- Earth's axial tilt is at about 23.5° -- if you change this, the tropic and the arctic circles change, as well as the seasons and how water disperses (since a lot of water flow in the summer is snowmelt)
- The hottest and the coldest places on a planet will be on the interior of the continents. Oceans act as a giant heat sink.
- Mountains tend to have a wet side and a dry side, depending on prevalent winds. Ever hear about how it's always raining in Seattle? Blame the cascades; Eastern Washington is two steps away from being a desert.
- This is a great (free) world building reference: A Magical Society Guide To Mapping
Terms of use:
- If you use it, link back here so other map-makers can grab it too.
- I'd like to see your maps, because I'm a bit of a cartography junky, so give me a link in the comments if you feel like it.
- Post your maps wherever, on DA or off. I'm easy-going.
Have fun world building!
