When real world mapping meets Tolkien

I would like to have a trained neural network that can generate Tolkien maps from existing map images and a filter for google maps or OpenStreetMap that can render the maps in Tolkien mode.

Here’s what you can achieve with some OSM tools: http://anamnese.online.fr/carte/leaflet.html

This is via https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/4496/how-to-create-... and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ceyx and https://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=5409&pag...

When I was travelling around Asia around 13-14 years ago I came across this map of Yangshuo

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-china-guangxi-yuangshuo-or...

One of my favourite maps, the picture doesn't actually do it justice the other side had one covering a much larger area in the same style.

I honestly think maps like this and in other fantasy styles would be better for people exploring a country.
