All right, sorry for the long delay since my last update. I have been busting my butt on my down time (when im not running my dog rescue) to put this region together. By far, this is the farthest I've ever gotten with Parkland, in its many reboots through the years, and this one will stick. These are the maps I've put together so far.

New Direction

By newyorkrunaway1,

I have taken a new direction in Parkland. I got bored with the flat land of old Parkland. so i merged two of my favorite maps together, vancouver and montreal, found here on the stex by a simple search, and created this map below. it has some of the same layout as the old parkland, but with more scenery and hills and a lot nicer to look at. im excited to get started on this new chapter of Parkland.... click here to see larger full size image
