"Maps of Tolkien's world have been mostly removed from the Internet at the request of the Tolkien estate lawyers, even when the map is not made by Tolkien, and the map maker makes no money as is the usual case. Some maps may later be licensed by the Tolkien estate and back online."
If you compare the image pack to an actual map of Middle Earth rather than the memory of a map of Middle Earth, you'll see that Tolkien trends towards the left side of his mountains being almost completely filled in, and the line on the right is fairly thick; the shading has blobs that indicate the original inkwork. There are only occasional diagonal lines indicating shading in the mountains. My lines are far finer, and if you zoom in you'll see on a few of the mountains the dead giveaway that I was using Photoshop: there are places where I was drawing white on black; you can see it on a few of the mountains on this map near the bottom if you click and zoom in.
The Tolkien Estate definitely doesn't have a copyright on hand drawn mountains, that would put quite a few other fantasy novels out of business, I wager. Pern has maps of this style, as does Narnia, for a couple of well known examples... this map style is pretty much standard for the fantasy cartography genre and understandably there's only so many ways one can draw mountains in black and white: they're just jagged triangles.
Cheers.
