A new mining village recently sprung up.  Word of Boulder Village only recently reached the rest of the Peninsula Ridge Region when transportation networks were connected.  Nestled in the vally of two mountian peaks, early residents discovered large quantities of coal and clay.  After this discovery, those who could bought up the land where coal was discovered.  A company mining village was soon constructed.

With the narron vally, the company houses spring up further down the vally.

Housing is foriced to back up the the main rail line.  The trees are not thick enough to keep the noise down from constant coal shipments.

As the main road heads south to the bottom of the vally, farms find more flat land to develop.

A tunnel is completed for a direct route east to the other side of the mountian.

Massive piles of gravel and bedrock surround the washing facility where the hillside was cut into for more industry.

Thanks for the replies, more coverage to come on this expanding region.

This looks fantastic, great work! Just a tiny clue to let the pictures look even better, with "g" you can disable the grid. And could you provide us a link of where you got the dirt textures from? Again, great work!

 The coal washing scene is great.  Do you every try to use dirt roads?

I have the SAM plugin.  But I have always had difficulty controlling where the dirt streets stop and start.  Are there any secrets?
