Dont' forget the concept map for Angel Island was quite similar too, since they reworked the stuff they planned to do on previous games. You know, like West Side island is a patch to the discarded South island for Sonic 2, and Angel Island is South Island 2.0 with everything West Side island never was.

Could you please elaborate on that? Seems like something I know nothing about...

I saw the hand drawn map of Angel Island on a forum topic some time ago, I can't remember in which one but I suppose it's also on the wiki.

You mean the map featured on Sonic3's JP manual?

Xiao Hayes · Jun 19, 2020

Maybe, I haven't checked out. XD

RDNexus · Jun 19, 2020

Is this the one?

Xiao Hayes · Jun 19, 2020

Yes, and I've checked out and haven't found it here on the wiki.

At this point, I think the main thing all of these have in common is that Oshima-san probably drew them. The Sonic 3 drawing was probably either just for the development staff to get an idea of how the island was laid out, or specifically for the manual since there's no indication of a map screen in any of the prototypes for that game. Sonic 2's various map-screens, if they were intended to be in the game, were probably cut very early in development like the time-travel idea.

Yasuhara is the one who drew them.

I stand corrected then.
