   One of the weird things I find with writing Fantasy is that it takes sooooooo long to get anywhere. This is a series of maps showing the time it used to take to travel across America from New York. Days to get anywhere, even with installed roads, in 1800, then down to weeks to reach Chicago.

   How would this affect the way you draw your maps?
