Boston MA
In many ways, the venerable Yankee port city of Boston, Massachusetts has the perfect topography for CS.
It is relatively flat but is also a coastal city, with converging rivers and an intricate and uniquely picturesque coastline. It has numerous highway, rail, air and sea connections, all centrally located, and all converging on the city center.
This map has 3 active rivers, 4 highway connections, 4 rail connections, 2 air lanes converging over the site of Logan International Airport, and a sea lane that loops deep into Boston harbor, allowing you to exploit the city’s extensive port sites.
Major highway and rail connections are placed as in RL, but stop at the edges of the 25-tile buildable zone. There is no transport infrastructure inside the map; that is for you to create as you wish.
Since roads in CS are so overscaled, the map is about 20% overscaled as well, to compensate.
The map uses Euro textures, as I find Euro the most realistic and visually pleasing of all the climactic zones, and because I created this map for a European-themed city I had in mind.
