The section of the map in the background is nearing completion. I've stared adding trees, grass, and rocks, adding a new dimension to the region. it is starting to look more like an alpine lake now.

Better Satellite view centered on the Blue Gill River. The snow on the mountain tops has a slightly brownish tint due to using the oil resource to simulate snow. To be honest I am still debating where I want to develop Frontier City at, but as the map progresses I'll get a better idea. One of the challenges when developing the city is that there is little flat ground. All of the region experiences some sort of elevation change. Even the areas that look flat on the map experience 10 to  30 meter elevation changes over relatively short distances.

One of the most treacherous passes in the map, as you can see from the numerous rocks, this region is subject to frequent rock-slides. The regions primary interstate will pass through this area. Still working on this area, need to add some trees and might modify the cliff sides some to add extra depth to the rocks.

Water-fall swimming hole, formed at the base of one of the numerous mountain streams that feed Blue Gill Lake.

One of Blue Gill Lakes numerous beaches. The beach still needs some work with forests and grass to blend the sand with the surrounding area better.

Looking towards the Northwest on one of the numerous small islands in the lake. The abandoned light house on this island enjoys spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
