>How valuable are map to creating a setting for you?
They're invaluable, personally. I love having the visual idea of a setting to look over even if its something abstract, especially when they're beautifully made. Even if the thing you're trying to map is more abstract, its still fun to look it over.
Its one of my favorite parts of the hobby. Getting a worldmap together and populating it is my favorite passtime, even if I'm not particularly good at it

Based on the suggestions from last threads; I've got three race 'families' in my setting.
The first are Humanfolk. This includes different ethnicity, half giants, pygmy people, and so on.
The second are beastfolk. Not furries, literally animals that walk on two legs and talk. Somehow can still hold swords and read magic books with hooves/paws, but whatever.
The third and final group has been the tough one. Based on suggestions I decided on 'Fetchfolk', a group of fairy-like or related races. But besides elves and Fetchfire (look like humans but with glowing fire for heads), I can't really think of any more to add to this last group.
