San Rafael
San Rafael. California
This map is scaled at 17×17 kms as a Height Map and is based on the real area of San Rafael in the Bay Area, California.
There are nearly 600K trees on the map and a basic highway and main road network. There is one main rail line as per the real city, but i added a second on the edge to a resource area.
The resources on the map are placed where natural marshes are in the shallow areas near the water. A fair bit of work as gone into the coastal landscaping, smoothing edges and making the marina’s true to life.
There is a small airport with an airline route. There are also two shipping routes.
There are fertile areas in many of the valleys nearer the mountains.
I have used Waiheke as the theme.
The last two images are in game mode, using After Dark and Relight Bleak LUT.
