Dan Bell is a biologist with a knack for map-making.
Bell doesn’t draw just any old map, though. He likes to draw national park maps, and he pulls inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien. Anyone who’s read The Lord of the Rings series or The Hobbit is familiar with Tolkien’s elaborate maps that help guide readers through his imaginary worlds. Imagine that but in the United Kingdom.
“I love how imaginative his stories are,†Bell told Earther via email.

I love it!
I was practicing drawing mountains recently with the intention of doing a map of NH in Tolkein's style. Thought it would be fun to go hike and trek with a map drawn in that style.

Great find Kortoso! I go walking in the peak district allmost every week. That map doesn't have all that much detail but is still cool to see
