Very nice article you have there! But do not forget to cite your sources and credit your images when necessary

I own the map and scanned it myself. They are my images and I am the original author of the description. In all seriousness, should I cite myself? I don't want to create any confusion or be unnecessarily flagged for plagiarism.

In that case, you did great and you earned an upvote. If there are indeed no sources of the information and you created all the content yourself you cannot cite sources.

I deal in antique maps for a living. Much of my day is spent researching and writing descriptions for my maps. Information comes from all over, but my descriptions and images are all my own. This will be the case for just about everything I post.

If not, I will undoubtedly site my source. Thanks for the upvote!
