Map This!- Cartography Services
Hello, Everyone!
I've been reworking on some of my older maps (created with Landscape Designer and edited with PaintShopPro) by using SC4Terraformer to create a bit more iof a "city-friendly" environment for region developers. I do not plan on reworking all of them but I do have a series that I'll be reworking.
Map This! - Cartography Services is pleased to announce the availability of its first reworked map, Vicki's Sound.
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 their migratory journey.
The Oringal Version of this map was made using Landscape Designer and then heavily modified using PaintShop Pro, v9.1x. Version 2 builds upon the original version by using SC4 Terraformer to modify the landscape so that it is more “playable”.
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 hill/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.
