About This File
After the last ice age, the retreating glaciers scoured out a very large bay which quickly filled with water melting from the glaciers and mixed with water from the surrounding sea. Over time, the bay and surrounding areas settled into the familiar landscape known today. Vicki's Sound, as it is now known, has very deep and chilly waters which are frequently visited by whales returning to breed and rest during the migratory journey.
This map was originally made using Landscape Designer and then heavily modified using PaintShop Pro, v9.1x. There is ample opportunity to develop both the upper bay and all around the sound as well as an interesting opportunity to tie the lake into the bay by cutting a canal across the small isthmus separating the two.
As you travel inward from the sound above the first range of hills/mountains, you will find several valleys well suited for development into villages, towns and -- who knows? -- even cities.
There should be little need for terraforming other than personal preferences or personal changes to the landscape itself.
Some of the city tiles will present challenges in building on them if they can be built on at all.As you will see, I try to create my maps with as much realism as I can. Consequently -- just like in real life -- not all areas of the map are equal nor can all areas be developed.
