These are easy to miss, for whatever reason, but this pack is actually far and away the highest quality compilation of maps around.
There's a genuine artfulness and attention to aesthetic that most maps (even ones in actual modules) lack. Things like the appropriate use of clutter, technically competent use of fills and lighting, and a general sense of lived-in character and story. The fact that there are so many of them is another plus.
Even when I haven't explicitly used the maps, I've found in several cases, I've borrowed design ideas - like using interior tiles as part of an exterior - for my own maps.

A hugely useful resource.
