Chimpman’s Known World 2300 BC, 8 miles per hex Working Coastlines v2
This map follows on directly from the first version, adding the a basic terrain layer. Parts of this were already complete, since John had already released his Shimmering Lands map months before. Most likely, he imported his terrain layer from another file. He was also working on multiple areas at this time, because his first work-in-progress Frontierlands map (now lost) dates to the day before this one.
These two Working Coastlines maps were clearly work-in-progress, incomplete maps. But they were important stepping stones on the journey to a complete set of 2300 BC maps, and the coastlines and terrain shapes established here would endure throughout the project.
