I really like this piece

I downloaded the map for Google Earth and I was pleasantly surprised to notice that you named that one island Lincoln Island. Jules Verne fan? Or simply chose the name because of Abe?

Thanks! - Jules Verne. I even tried to give it a roughly similar shape to the island from the book

Anyway, here's a sample from the current "done" version. (more or less.)

I created some compasses (north symbols) for maps.
You can check them here right:

SVG and PNG.
You can use them on your work because they're free.
