They're engaging and can easily captivate your attention for hours, much like the 2.6 million members of one special Reddit community.

We invite you to enter a cartographer's dreamland, where lines and colors come together. You might find yourself captivated by the various marks, boundaries, and notes, joining the ranks of map enthusiasts. Give your best-liked maps an upvote and share in the comments the ones that made you want to take up this hobby.
