So, without further ado, let's score it:
AESTHETICALLY, I love it. It's a great map, and you could stick this in a book to show the reader what to picture, or bang it up on your wall as a trophy. It's striking, it's detailed, and it makes the location memorable. It's definitely only worth doing if there is a striking visual for you to communicate - like the giant Heart, here.
Its DIFFICULTY, though, is quite high. It certainly took me a long time, and even if you're methodical about it - drawing out the shapes in pencil first, measuring all the distances to maintain a consistent scale - it takes a good eye. So that's VERY HIGH.
Finally, its USEFULNESS. Yes, it's specific; yes, it's not something that you can use for a full campaign. I still love it. You can prize it away from my cold, dead hands. I'm giving it a MEDIUM. Because I used it, despite the haters.
Overall, I'd give this map a 6.5 out of ten. Good, but not great. I guess. Moving on.
AESTHETIC: High
DIFFICULTY: Very High
USEFULNESS: Medium
SCORE: 6.5/10
