Help plz. Is there a map maker that I can make maps like this?
Hang in there! After countless (1) Google search, I found these. I’m sure these will not meet your standards, but as my search shows there are resources available.

Yesterday, I posted a map of Sauron's sightline. But we were all deceived, for another map was made. Forged in ArcGIS Pro, this map takes into account the curvature of the earth, which is important when running viewshed analysis for the vast area of Middle Earth.
Data sources in the bottom left of map, but I realize the image compression kinda makes the text hard to read. I found the data from this post by Geospatial Institute. Kudos to jvangeld and the ME-GIS team for creating this amazing data. Additional data is available on github (the data is usually approved for most personal/educational uses, but just ask them).

Ever wonder how much of Middle Earth the Eye of Sauron could actually see?
Data sources listed on bottom left of map, including the font type. I found the DEM posted by the Geospatial Institute, via the amazing ME-GIS team. I used ArcGIS Pro to create the map. Shoreline effect created using series of offset shoreline boundaries. Viewshed symbology created with Firefly style.

Geography of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW)
Here are the shapefiles I used, and I had to digitize a map of The Shire, which was fun. My own project was based on the geographic landscape of The Shire, and how that might have influenced the Hobbitish character. Apparently the prof liked it enough that he brought it up as an example for class.
What are some alternatives?
