Chimpman’s Frontierlands 2300 BC, 8 miles per hex v4
Following his Aresh Region, 2 miles per hex map, John revisited his main Frontierlands map and reflected the developments from the larger scale back into the regular 8 mile per hex map. Keeping everything in sync is a constant concern for any mapmaker, and John did a great job here.
This map comes from his own master PSD version, and I don’t believe he ever posted it publicly. As with all of his PSDs, I have exported to PNG, with a transparency setting applied to the hex grid. Any flaws are thus likely my fault, as the original had a grey hex grid that hid the join between hexes. I think it’s worth it, though, as the more subtle hex grid makes it easier to read the map.
John has not yet returned to the Frontierlands to further develop the map, so the Aresh update remains the latest one at the time of writing.
