Drafting Plans

In the beginning, when I created Schieffelin County, I wanted to build something that similar to New York or San Francisco. I didn't like the idea of carving water from land, so I decided that land should arise from the waters below. So on a new slate, I drew plans for a vast bay filled with rivers leading to the mountains where the water is sourced.

This city journal will be based off of the entire region, and multiple cities will be involved. This why I have entitled my design as Schieffelin County Life, as if it were a regional magazine.

I drew my plans on a piece of graph paper to a certain scale. I've uploaded a scan of it below.

In the picture, I've created mountains the Northwest and Northeast, with three rivers flowing between four peninsulas of land. The lower half of the region will be called Schieffelin Bay. I haven't decided on

other names yet, but I'm open to some suggestions.

I haven't made any plans to decide how large I want each city to be. The boundaries between mountains, rough plains, and rivers are all not yet set in stone. I do know that in the past, I couldn't change the city sizes in the terraformer after saving it.
