Chimpman’s Platea, 8 miles per hex
This was John’s contribution to Michele Carpita’s challenge to the community to detail an empty region of central Davania, Platea. He began by posting a map compiling all the other maps and fragments available. Then he refined it over the next week, with contributions from Geoff Gander. The earlier posted version(s) are lost to us now.
The Vaults of Pandius dates this map to September 2011, which was the date of the last posted message in the thread. The first post of the thread was edited on the same day. However, the map doesn’t include elements we might expect from another update, so I think it’s more likely that this was simply the final version from 2010.
