Allow me to share with you what I call the 'grid system' to accurately draw brand new maps.

The first step is to create yourself a grid template map within World Builder. With the Ice terrain you will create horizontal and vertical lines every 20 hexagons or whatever increment you want. Save this grid as a template so that you will always have it for future projects.

Now use the Google image search to find the map you want to copy. Copy and paste the map into a paint program. Use some mathematics to crop and resize the map to fit the same ratio as your World Builder map. For example, if your World Builder map is 75x75 then that's a 1:1 ratio and you will want to make sure that your Paint Program map is also 1:1. Create a new paint picture and create yourself a grid with transparent background. Again, you will have to do some simple mathematics to match your Paint Program grid to that of the WB grid. You then copy and paste your Paint Program grid over the Paint Program map.

Now that you have your WB grid and your Paint Program map with grid you open up both on the same screen. I have my WB map on the left and the paint program map on the right side of my screen. Start drawing the map piece by piece based on the grids.

The end result should be a very accurate representation of the map you are copying.
