Is this map size closer to a standard or rush category?

With this layout it's probably closer to standard. But you're using speed zones which are only allowed in the challenge category.

My final submissions:

Ion Fazekath - Standard
Information: + Show Spoiler +

Size: 118x136 = 16048
Main to main: 45
Ramp to ramp: 35
Natural to natural: 33
Description:
Ion Fazekath is a spaceship built into a block of ice, where most of the initial paths go through high grounds in front of natural’s ramp. Control the base with rich vespene geyser on the high ground to control the flow or use the longer path on edges to avoid those high grounds.
Features:

High ground base with rich vespene geyser has only 6 mineral batches.
Two reaper jump spots to main from third.

Polar Night Keep - Macro
Information: + Show Spoiler +

Size: 136x140 = 19040
Main to main: 43
Ramp to ramp: 36
Natural to natural: 32
Description:
This ancient keep was built to watch over the long polar night. Traditional base layout is mostly safely on top of the keep, but two bases can be found outside. The middle path has more ramps and some tighter chokes, but on the side there is straighter paths between opposing bases.

Two reaper jump spots.

Seaside Resort - Macro
Information: + Show Spoiler +

Size: 142x142 = 20164
Main to main: 43
Ramp to ramp: 37
Natural to natural: 31
Description:
Welcome to Seaside Resort, where there is plenty of room, bases and paths for everyone. Most bases are in traditional layout, but there are two forward bases that provide richer experience. For tropical experience take the wider low ground path with more turns and some bushes. For more straight approach open the tighter high ground path.
Features:

Just wanted to ask if there was ever a challenge or standard map where the main bases start on the low ground instead? Or is that not a thing in sc2

It hasn't been a thing in sc2 for quite a while now (essentially due to SCII's defender advantage being much weaker). There were some in the early days of SCII--the most recent map I can think of that had that is (Wiki)

Sacred Path .

I really like all 3 of them. The first two look like great maps for their categories, and the third one is a bit offbeat, but I think we should have more of that. If this is all you manage, you still achieved a lot of variety in your submission. Cool stuff.

Dunes Of Destiny
Rush

You are unable to construct buildings on the water in the middle of the map. Creep tumors can be placed though. An easy to hold Natural but after that with the map being as small as it is, you really need to go on the aggressive stance.

______________________________

Into The Beyond
Standard

A standard, care-free, easy going map. Plenty of bases allow you to play passive or you can get a little more aggressive but open yourself up to easier harass. Take down the rocks to open up another direct attack path to help with flanks or pushes.

______________________________

Blackwood Timbers
Standard

Another standard map with an easy to hold natural and a choice of thirds. Depending which third you take you can easily get a 4th or push onto the enemy. There are many cliff elevations which make the map overall very enjoyable for all races.

______________________________

Blood Trials
Macro

A long early game attack time thus resulting in more macro heavy openings. At that point you can expand to a choice of thirds and after that grab a defensive or aggressive fourth to put pressure or retaliate on against your opponent.

______________________________

Embers Of War
Macro

A four player map where horizontal spawns are disabled. Expand easily yet watch your flank or you may become overrun from the enemy forces.

______________________________

Habitation Station 2
Challenge #1

The challenge comes from all the choke points in the middle. In the original Habitation Station you could move through the choke points in the middle and secure a huge advantage by taking out or holding onto your gold base. In this version, if you move through the choke points you are sped up, move at a faster pace and therefore and better defend... or attack into the enemy bases.

I didn't create anything new unfortunately... at this point in my sc2 life... I don't really have time anymore so instead I just edit my older non-winning maps and hope for the best! Wishing the greatest of luck to all participants and may the best mapper win!
