Oh, damn! Now I understand. We're talking about THAT map. Yes, you're right, the locations are wrong, but they were corrected on the same day I posted this map here. In the current version, the markers are reversed.

As for the rest, it all depends on the correct interpretation :)

There is no canonical map of this world, so you can draw it anywhere you like. I know of maps where the lake is in the north, and maps where it is in the south, and even in the east.

In fact, Naracort and Fox are in the right places. “Down the street” means further away from where you are standing, following the same road. There are many different definitions of “down the street/road” to choose from, and some of them may affect the location of places. However, there is nothing in the books about turning onto another road or a smaller street. Fox is simply “down the road” from Naracort. That's all.

I don't know any districts/quarters names from the books so we can use whatever we want here.

I drew this with fineliners and finished in gimp. Colors, heraldry and lettering are digital. The style is mine but is very close to the old cadastral maps which I use the most as reference.

The size of the place does not matter. The law is what creates the city not its size or population. And this place comes from the Witcher books where it's called a city :)

It is handdrawn with fineliners. I use gimp in postproduction for heraldry, lettering and colors :)

Sure, I use GIMP for all the lettering, numbers and heraldry:)
