Prompt
A hand-drawn fantasy continent map on aged parchment, a large landmass dominated by a central mountain range drawn as small brown triangular peaks, two major rivers flowing from the mountains to the sea, dense forest regions marked with tiny green tree clusters in the north, a desert region of golden hatched dots in the south, a coastal archipelago of small islands along the eastern edge, three blank rectangular areas reserved for city labels with no text inside, tiny illustrated landmarks — a single castle tower, a bridge crossing the larger river, a ship sailing near the southern cape, a compass rose in the bottom left corner, decorative border of knotted rope, hand-painted cartography style with visible ink linework and watercolour wash in muted browns, greens, and ochres on cream parchment --ar 3:2 --stylize 200

How to use this prompt
The blank rectangular areas are the label reservations — "blank" plus "rectangular" tells Midjourney to leave clean white spaces for city names rather than filling them with invented text or decorative scrollwork. "Three blank" with a count is safe here because the model renders them as negative space, not as counted objects. Tiny illustrated landmarks — the castle, bridge, and ship — are what make the map read as fantasy cartography rather than a generic geography diagram, and naming each one with its location keeps them from clustering in one corner. The knotted-rope border is the finishing detail that frames the map as a printable poster rather than a loose sketch.
Variations to try
- Add a polar ice cap in the north with blue hatching and a frozen coastline for a cold-climate continent
- Replace the desert with a volcanic region marked with red and orange cracked-earth symbols
