Powhatan Island Introduction
Good Afternoon Everyone and welcome to my newest City Journal: Powhatan Island!
Powhatan Island is my newest endeavor, and will be a work-in-progress, and is an off-shoot of my primary CJ: Southern Cities, so it will be a part of the Southern Cities universe. Instead of creating fictional re-creations of real cities across the Southern and Mid-Atlantic US, I've decided to create a fictional US State (albiet using a moderately altered map of Malta).
This will be a short introductory entry and will upload a more extensive entry at a later time, but I wanted to give a brief overview of what to expect with this CJ.
1) Powhatan Island is one of the smallest US states, and similar in size to Rhode Island and Delaware, and is also one of the most densely populated states with densities approaching that of many cities in the Eastern US.
2) The state is located approximately 20 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, VA and is connected to Virginia Beach via a tolled freeway tunnel (Extension of US-58).
3) The southern main island, Powhatan Island, contains the state capital, as well as the largest metro area in the state, which will reach a projected population of ~1.5 million. The southern island also has a large national forest (approx. 1/3-1/2 the total area of the island) and two mountans in the western part of the island.
4) The northern main island, Rock Island, is less densely populated with large numbers of farms and a smaller metro area centered on the county seat of Rockville, which will have a projected population of ~150K-200K.
5) Between the two main islands is Magnola Island, which will be a nature reserve with a small fishing town of ~ 10-20,000.
And here are some preliminary images of Powhatan Island:
The first image shows an overview of the eastern half of the southern island and the fledging metropolis around Powhatan City, the state capital:
The next image shows the yet-to-be-named national forest and the two mountains in the western part of Powhatan Island:
The last image shows the WIP of Rock Island:
I hope you enjoyed this brief introduction, stay tuned to more here and at Southern Cities!
