About This File
This is the area of Hampton Roads (Tidewater) that is regionally known as "The Peninsula." It contains Hampton, Newport News, and Williamsburg. To the west lies the James River, which separates The Peninsula from Norfolk. To the east lies the Chesapeake Bay.
This map was created from USGS data and scaled, but I made some major changes to make it more playable. I made some additions of water, rotated the map, and also removed many of the minor inlets which would have made building nearly impossible. The result, I believe is a very large region with a lot of possibilities.
The Peninsula is 2305x3073, or 9x12 large cities, or 36km x 48km. The download is a .SC4M file (which is why this is uploaded in props) and I have also included a config.bmp file, though a new one could be created to suit your tastes.
Be creative and enjoy!
