How are these figures made?

For the sake of interest, I downloaded the first PSD layout from the creative cloud, looked, and there is a whole map in the form of a figure. This is not the first time I have come across such things that are hard to believe that they were created by hand.
Can anyone tell me how these figures are made?

Perhaps this is my curse - to answer my own question. I don’t know how it works, but until you ask a question, the answer to it is completely non-obvious. I'll continue to use this here if you don't mind.)))
In general, I poked it, it turned out to be nowhere easier, select the desired area, with the selected RMB selection tool on the selection made and convert to curves:
Then in the Paths panel we set the name of the new curve, next Layer -> New Fill Layer -> Outline, or select a pen and click in the upper "Shape" panel with the curve selected, and that's it .. Done.
It is better to make a figure from large selections, so the accuracy will be much higher.

Manually, how else? There are a bunch of ready ones if you google https://freevectormaps.com/great-britain

When creating a figure from a complex selection, the result is usually unsatisfactory - it comes out too crooked. Complex shapes are easier to draw in illustrator and copy-paste in Photoshop (they are inserted as shapes, smart objects (which open illustrator when clicked), bitmap object or path).
