I really wish I had the skill and the attention span to be able to draw maps like this. Especially the mountains and elevations. I just can't seem to work out the angled view of the mountains.

Really cool! I'm sure you could do it with some practice.

First of all, learn to use thumbnails, man. Seriously.
Secondly, yes, it's nicely done.

There's no way that water is freehand.

Probably a combination of hand drawn and zipatone. I recognize the half tone and the water pattern. I still have a old graphic design catalog from college (circa 1985) that I will scan to show you what I mean.
The shaded relief is handdrawn and impressive.
My dream technique is to reliably draw hachture for relief.
