Somewhere in Central US

This city may not seem like much but I decided to post it because it was the first time I ever tried to intentionally not maximize the given space or maximize anything for the matter and instead focus more on the overall esthetics of the city itself and attempting to make what resembles a real city.   This was made a long time ago using the vanilla version and no mods whatsoever.  I believe the “charm” of this city comes from the fact that because it doesn’t maximize the space, you cannot exactly tell where the city begins and where the natural landscape ends.  I only had to do this once before deciding to never again not do it.  In other words, after making this city, I never tried to maximize the space again knowing that doing so only leads to the ugly square-shaped cities I was making before and that I all too often (no offense) see when I go online.  In fact, I was able to maximize any headquarters I needed to maximize or construct great works without the need to maximize the space ever again.  Doing this made the game many times more enjoyable.
