Are any illustrated maps still around?

Going back through some of my old Universal stuff and forgot how beautiful the old maps used to be. They’re much more aesthetically pleasing than the newer computer generated style they use in the app and paper maps today. Is there anywhere that displays a illustrated version of what the parks look like now? Would love to see Hagrid’s or Velocicoaster in this style.

I’m with you, @DodgsonHere I loved the old style of maps. When I was really little apparently I’d keep them around just to look at when I was bored lol.

Sucks but both Disney and Universal have ditched the hand-drawn style completely in favor of the CGI type. It’s meant to be congruous with the app and it does make sense, but I do miss the more stylized drawing style that made each park map more unique and…”artistic” I guess you’d call it.
