Another way
For what it is worth, I would use svg outline maps. Open an SVG in Gimp and you determine the size, larger or smaller (within reason) without degradation. Do a search for free svg maps, I used one from here: https://simplemaps.com/resources/svg-maps
When you open in Gimp set the size in pixels and tick import paths. In Gimp you can fill a path directly with a pattern Edit -> Fill Path example filling path https://i.imgur.com/FpEVWdO.mp4
Another way is make the path a selection Select -> From Path and paint in the selection. Probably not often used but you can paint using the clone tool. In the clone tool options set the source to pattern example using the clone tool https://i.imgur.com/bRECU1i.mp4
Up to you to make the pattern
