Some (more than a few) years ago I was in the position of reading slush for Tor books. This was back in the day when it was all mailed in on paper. Unsurprisingly, many of the fantasy submissions came with the author's own, generally hand-drawn, map. They varied quite a bit in terms of quality, but were generally recognizable as being in the tradition of what was usually printed in fantasy novels. ("Land of the pointy mountains"). Since they were sometimes disposable copies, I took to keeping the maps in a binder. For all I know, it's still there.
