After having read the "Generating Tile Maps" paper I was relieved to find this repository, great work!

I believe I have generated a useful output but I'm having some difficulty extracting a suitable tilemap from the many_maps function. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible! Suppose you have the output of the many_maps() function saved as map_df, and you want to add the 3rd map shown in the plot generated by the many_maps() function to some other data frame df. Then you can use the code df$tile_map <- map_df$map[[3]] to create a new column in the other data frame representing the selected tile map.
