A sepia-toned, hand-drawn map of a medieval village with a church, graveyard, houses, gardens, and a compass rose.

A hand-drawn, sepia-toned medieval village map on aged parchment. The village is nestled near the edge of a dark forest. The map shows a small, lived-in settlement with a winding dirt road running through the center. Rustic houses with thatched roofs cluster around a central square with a well and a large oak tree. To the north is a small stone chapel with a graveyard behind it, partly overtaken by the forest. Near the southern edge stands a blacksmith’s forge with smoke curling from its chimney. To the west, a crooked wooden tavern sits near an herbalist’s cottage surrounded by wild gardens and drying racks. The eastern fields show struggling crops and a single abandoned farmhouse. The perimeter of the village is lined with low wooden fences, and beyond them the forest looms ever closer. A mysterious stone circle is hidden behind the chapel. The map includes no writing or labels — only detailed hand-drawn structures, roads, and textures. A compass rose and decorative border frame the parchment. See more
