System Maps

The first maps are ones that are made to look like the current T map. These are the first maps I made and the inspiration for this website. There are a few errors in each as I usually made these at 1 in the morning. I don’t plan on fixing them so don’t bother pointing them out. I am going to keep them the way they are to see how I progress in my map making skills.
