Description:
Lake Quinault by Rödelpopp

Welcome to Lake Quinault, the only temperate rain forest in the northern hemisphere includes the glacial carved Quinault Valley. The Native Americans who inhabited the area had few physical wants because the climate was moderate and the land and the sea were so abundant.

“The people were surrounded by a large variety of sea, land, and plant foods, many sources of clothing, and many woods for huge longhouses, trees to carve into sea and river-going canoes, or natural tools to engrave a cedar box, fell a 1,000 year old tree, or ladle food.”

The Lake Quinault area and the upper Quinault Valley were used seasonally to gather materials and foods such as berries, fish and meat. The Quinault River was the main transportation route into the valley.

The fortitude and resourcefulness of all the original settlers in the Valley defy modern imagination. The dense forest, the ferocious weather, the tumultuous river as a highway and the long muddy primitive trails that led into the area were daunting. How these sturdy folk carved out a homestead, built a home, beat down the brush to scratch out a garden and a field for their animals is astonishing, and THEY DID IT! Today there are many descendants of these Pioneers still here in the Quinault Valley and the surrounding communities.

Notes on map themes

I specifically designed this map for the map theme Realistic V1.2.13 Boreal, but you can also use the following themes:

All the map themes are only recommended, the map is fully playable without it.

Notes on trees

Because it’s a really dense forest, i had to plopp more trees than the game allowes – ~500k instead of 250k. Because of that the Unlimited trees mod is listed as dependency.

If you don’t like subscribe to the trees, grass or filler patches, they just don’t appear ingame.

Notes on intersections

I used the following premade intersections:

All credits go the the respective creators.

(*) Not available in the workshop anymore.
