As most of you know, all of my cjs and cities, including The Forgotten (this cj) take place in the fictional country of Henderson. Henderson is basically a near replica of the United States, and because of that, it is also in an alternate world where the US and Henderson somehow co-exist together. Many cities are similar to US cities. Radiator Springs is NYC, Xylo is a city near NYC, Kellan is Portland, Benjamin is Dallas/Houston, and so on. But today, I have photo-shopped a satellite picture of Kirkland, another city of mines to be introduced soon, or never, and the surrounding area. Enjoy! Also, READ the SUBTITLES before asking questions please. Replies will be in the next major update. Note: The Verdango Metro. and surrounding areas are a satellite picture from Houston, where as the rest of the region is taken from the northeast or Indiana, which means the colors are noticeably different than the rest of the region. The Drehah Metro is a screenshot taken at the wrong zoom level, so it doesn't look like anything is there. Basic satellite picture with no labels. Basic landforms. Major freeways and interstates. Obviously there are more freeways within each metro area, these are just freeways that go out of the region or connector freeways meant to connect two cities/areas, like an expressway almost. The borders of metropolitan and micropolitan areas, along with the CSA (Combined Statistical Area) border. And of course there more cities/developed areas, but they don't meet the requirements to be a metro/micropolitan area on their own. Density map, self-explanatory. RATE, COMMENT, AND +1!

This is one of the best pictures I ever seen on this cj! *applause*

  There supposed to be, although none of them have been in a cj yet

Carlsbad, one of Xylo's oldest suburbs, is home to some of the nation's smartest students. With a HKI Score (Henderson Knowledge Index) of 927 out of 1000, it is also home to some of the nation's smartest adults. The city of 79,000 people, however, is rapidly aging and has barely seen any residential construction since 1984. In 1999, former mayor Bonquisha Hamilton announced the New Downtown Carlsbad project, which was expected to add numerous jobs and housing for as many as 15,000 residents. In 2009, the final skyscraper was built and the project was considered completed, Since then, the city has slowly started to become more lively, reversing the aging process and helping Carlsbad catch up to modern times. Replies are at the bottom. Don't forget to vote in the poll! The Memory District, formerly known as Historic Downtown Carlsbad, used to be the center of attention in the city. City Hall (reflective black building at the intersection) has stayed in the same building since 1948. Dual Carlsbad Station, located near the Memory District, serves the Blue and Yellow lines of Xylo's Suburban Light Rail Project. Another light rail station on the Yellow Line near the North Carlsbad Avenue exit of Interstate 20. Some medium density housing developments. South Carlsbad Avenue exit of Interstate 20, with a light rail station at the bottom of the picture. A middle class housing neighborhood. This is where Devaloti Blvd. turns into Interstate 25. Some suburban housing in Carlsbad near Interstate 25. Carlsbad is one of the cities in Xylo where urban sprawl turns into suburban sprawl, although there is no actually boundary. Just some street hierarchy, a normal feature of any North American suburb. The New Carlsbad Avenue exit of Interstate 25. This shopping center means that we are finally getting closer to New Downtown Carlsbad. Just a quick stitch. New Downtown Carlsbad. You can see the Yellow Line light rail at the top, and you can also see NDC's borders at the top, where the dense tree canopy returns. Replies From Special Entry 8 Neto Dari- Thanks!

Nice use of the U.S. Bank Tower and Q1. Btw, what is that blackish building at the bottom left of the eight pic? I downloaded that before and when I got a new computer it didn't transer with the other plugins

St. Cloud is a small town of 6,000 people located on an island outside of Xylo. The town has filled all the land on the island suitable for development, which is why the St. Clouds population jumped from 192 in 1940 to 5,783 in 1950 and then flat-lined. In 2009, ex-mayor Hayne Smith proposed expanding the island via land reclamation and constructing a series of hi-rises that could populate up to 80,000 people. In 2012, this proposal was taken into effect and the project is expected to be completed in late 2014-mid 2015. Replies will be covered in the next update... The City of Lennox (Update 22) was the last update of Palmdale for now... St. Cloud City Hall. (Ignore the fact the building is a library) A better view of Downtown St. Cloud, with a sunny day making City Hall (middle-left), St. Cloud Elementary School (top-left), and William Bill Clinton High School (middle-right, cut out) all visible. Some houses and businesses outside Downtown. KBBL Radio, which is Xylo's fifth most listened to radio station, has its tower located in St. Cloud. Due to this, spotty reception is common is Xylo's outermost suburbs, one of which is also Xylo's most populated suburb. Some housing south of Mountain Blvd. This intersection is where Cloudy Avenue turns into Costal Road (which will be seen in each of the next four pictures) after crossing Mountain Blvd. Coastal Avenue goes diagonal to match the island's topography. Some houses next to Dante's Peak. Quick Stats Districts of Xylo (the main city) RATE, COMMENT, +1, AND FOLLOW!

Those are some great night shots!

Did I just hear multi core support? I know I did not just hear multi core support! Did anyone else read that?

That night shot is beautiful!

Very nice! This is one of those moments where I wish SC4 had a 3d street view feature... Mcmansions are much, much larger

That canyon scares me

Love that last picture! And I think the suburbs the right of the river should be rowhouse/townhouse type houses along with the industry, and the suburbs to the left of the river should be single family homes

Lens flare for the win! Great pics

The stadium, the freeways, the skyscrapers their all so nice! Maybe even too nice....

Great work! The first three pictures are everything!

Love the photoshopping!

Very nice houses!

Love the fog!

Great photo shopping with the floods! The expressway pic is my favorite

:0 the best cj in the world is back! And the population bars is a really nice idea. Also love the aerial view, better than any other aerial view I've ever made
