I wish that I had the time to do a similar job on the larger maps, but the details are usually too small for it to matter. Also, from a usability standpoint, I try and simplify the textures. Being accurate/artisitic is one thing, but creating a usable map is quite another. That's one reason why I did the bottom levels of CT with a solid color rather than try and drop a texture on it. With the experience I have now, I could probably make it work, but at the time it was too daunting.
