Map Details and Information

This map has been uploaded at the request of members TPB and SimEMS38, and at the encouragement of Huston. I needed to come up with a name so I'm calling this "Humboldt". I realize it won't appeal to everyone but if someone else wants to check it out, then by all means.

This Map was created by piecing together various parts of 26 different real world maps. The resulting land area has been reconciled extensively; some of the river beds and sea floors however would need more work for someone wanting to use a transparent water mod. The two built-in port areas (taken from the Rotterdam and Kaohsiung maps) have been correctly oriented both orthogonally and diagonally. The inner harbor area is meant to be a starting template which can be easily modified as you see fit. The map was rendered using a modified version of Gobias' Sudden Valley terrain mod, Gobias' Chicago River water mod and a modified version of Tierusu's Grass beach mod.

Credits

I can't and don't take any credit for this map. All I've done is take from the great work of others, do some edge reconciliation and a relatively slight amount of hand terraforming. The following is a list of all the maps and tools used to compile the map:
