D&D 5E Source of maps in back of 5e DMG?

[Aoirorentsu]

Among the many cool things in the new DMG, one of them is the set of cool maps towards the end of the book. Does anyone know where they come from? Were they published in previous adventures from older editions?

I'm particularly interested in the Bhaal-themed map on p312 if anyone knows.

Thanks!

I believe they are all Mike Schley. I bought the maps for Phandelver and printed them out on my photo printer. I only printed 4x6 but they are glossy and high resolution. Definite addition to my game as I can't draw at all. Why let all that good art go to waste?

As a reference:

• The dungeon on page 311 is available as both an unkeyed player's version, and a keyed DM's version.
• The dungeon on page 312 is the Vault of the Dracolich map, and is available as both an unkeyed player's version, and a keyed DM's version.
• The village at the top of page 313 is the village of Mistwatch from the Nentir Vale setting.
• The village on the bottom of page 313 is Diyun, the Hanging City from the article of the same name in issue #189 of Dungeon magazine.
• The dungeon at the top of page 314 is from the Into the Unknown: The Dungeoneer's Survival Guide supplement.
• The ship on the bottom of page 314 is from the Talon of Umberlee Lair Assault module.
• The dungeon on page 315 is the Vault of Catharandamus from the Tome of Magic supplement.

For my money, I want to know who did the settlement image on page 115 -- that is awesome!

Interesting! He doesn't put it with the "DMG Collection," and it's not available as a download. He also has a bunch of the other side-art available as prints: http://mikeschley.zenfolio.com/p923843744

These are Mike Schley's wonders! I liked that WoTC included different map model in the DMG, i thought it was both brilliant and inspiring!

The map on the top of page 314 is used for The Dripping Caves (goblin lair) in Storm King's Thunder.

The map on page 311 is a re-do of the map from the sample adventure that appeared in the original AD&D DMG from 1979, so it was created by Gary Gygax (and has been re-drawn here). That book also contained a keyed description of the rooms & contents.
