Awesome maps; Must have taken a while to make!

I decided to deviate from the original road layout somewhat, and the core has been moved further north to the forks in the river. This allowed for more growth and customizability options. The pic below is the area located across the river from the core downtown itself. This is a huge picture, weighing in at 7mb and has a resolution of 5464x6253. People were asking for larger pics, so here they are! :-) It also gives in game ratio to the city itself. Click on the thumbnail to load the larger image.

Lovely picture.

Sorry for the delays y'all. I should have another update in today or tomorrow of the transit map. It will be a rather large image and just contain the transit thus far. It's pretty large and has taken some time to get as much as I've done so far, and to make it as realistic as possible, since thats what this CJ is about. Thanks for the patience y'all!

All right, sorry for the long delay since my last update. I have been busting my butt on my down time (when im not running my dog rescue) to put this region together. By far, this is the farthest I've ever gotten with Parkland, in its many reboots through the years, and this one will stick. These are the maps I've put together so far. As said before, Parkland is made up of all large size city tiles, so you can imagine how vast the region is and how much work was put into this. I was going to wait until I got the 3 city tiles to the south of the already put together tiles before i updated, but i wanted to go ahead and share my work. Both pics have larger versions if you click on them. enjoy

 

As you can tell, I merged parts of the Montreal maps and Vancouver maps together to create this region of Parkland.

 

Here is the map I keep so I can keep a good map of the actual region to follow along with, and for CJ updates. I photoshop all of the individual transit views in each city to put this together. Then I go over the map with the different colors, as seen below, to mark the difference in transit.

 

Black : Highways

Blue : Avenues

Orange : Streetcar

Purple : Commuter Rail

Yellow : Freight Rail

White : Streets/Roads

 

Here is the actual region view of the major city section of the region.

Really good work.  I live in Parkland too but it looks nothing like this.  Look forward to more updates.

[Roger51 381]

Wow, this is still amazing as ever!!! Great work on the map

[Fox 1,444]

That map looks pretty cool.

Why does this remind me of GTA San Andreas?

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

I've never played it, so I don't know. lol

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

Just a little tease for the upcoming update This is a section of downtown.

 

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks so good, and thank you so much for having one of my buildings in your city, thank you.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

There are quite a few more Aaron

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

I haven't put this city aside yet... Just letting y'all know I'm still here and still working on Parkland!

 

[simlink 1,098]

I see where the area gets its name.. those waterfront parks are stellar.

[Inner Nerd 3]

Wow... that's amazing....

[tshirt23 75]

This city is beautiful!  I love that night/day shot you did on post #500, it turned out really well.

I know it has been quite a while since my last update, and even longer since a major update. RL has played a huge role in my gameplay time, but I've finally gotten Downtown built out. So, here is Downtown Parkland! Enjoy!

Woah so awesome.

[tshirt23 75]

Your city looks so beautiful...I would live there!  You have done really great work on all the plazas and parks too, that is one of my favorite parts of your city.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

thanks y'all! took a lot of work, so im glad you are enjoying it!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

I'm not sure what happened to my most recent uploads for Parkland where I showcased downtown, they have disappeared off of my server somehow... annoying... I will try and get some more downtown pics back up soon, but until then, here is a picture of downtown Parkland in 1080p 

[The Avatar 1,089]

That is a work of art. Beautiful variety and superb realism.
